Abstract

An improved method and system of suspending an overhead conveyor rail from an existing structure which may or may not have horizontal structural members. A system of universal beams, brackets, connectors and bracing is arranged to suspend a conveyor rail from the existing structural members without drilling or welding. By the fact that only a few common, universal pieces are necessary, a cost effective system to manufacture and install is made possible.
