100 Years and Counting!

Feedrail® offers a complete line of Overhead Trolley and Plug-In Busway Electrification Systems. With almost 100 years in the business, we understand moving applications, and can address the questions and problems involved in selecting a power source that will move with your application.

Feedrail® developed a moving source of electrification to answer the needs of the sewn products and automotive industries which were evolving into large, mass production processes. In sewn products, for example, movable power outlets were needed for sewing machines. As production layouts changed, rearranging of sewing equipment became much easier. Production was no longer delayed, and the end result was increased productivity.

Feedrail® Systems have become more and more sophisticated over the years. You’ll see them in abusive heavy-duty application such as steel mills and rapid transit systems. In high-tech industries, Feedrail® Electrification Systems are being used to perform testing and burn-in functions at electronic assembly plants.

No matter what your application, we can engineer a system to meet your electrification requirements. Systems are designed for indoor use in non-hazardous, non-corrosive, dry atmosphere.

Simple Design = Quick Installation

Feedrail® Systems are manufactured of standard units that are factory preassembled to save time on the installation site. Our systems install with just a wrench and a screwdriver.

You can add to, modify, change, or tailor any of these systems to meet your needs quickly.

Compact Design = Dollar Savings

Our Feedrail® Trolley Busway Systems incorporate all power conductors into one housing minimizing installation costs.

Quality Design & Construction = Superior Safety

Feedrail® Overhead Electrification Systems assure the safety of your personnel and operate dependably at any level from ceiling to floor. Since all currency-carrying components are enclosed, the hazard of personnel accidentally coming in contact with live current is eliminated. Feedrail® Electrification Systems are U.L. Listed and C.S.A. Certified where applicable.

Minimal Maintenance and Dependable Performance

Because they’re so well constructed, Feedrail® Electrification Systems will deliver years of trouble-free, reliable service. Once installed, your Feedrail® system is virtually maintenance-free. Periodic inspection and cleaning is all that’s required.

National Electric Code

Most Feedrail® Systems are listed by the Underwriters' Laboratory, Inc. The National Electric Code governs their installation. The equipment is designed and manufactured for use under this code and will meet the requirements listed in the Code if installation is in accordance with its provisions. However, interpretation of local inspection authorities should be sought for specific rules in your district.
