UNSPSC 24101750: Overhead track conveyor

A type of conveyor that consists of a continuous loop of chain or cable that is suspended from a track. Carriers or trolleys are attached periodically to hang or contain products. There are several different types of overhead trolleys. Manual trolleys or push systems are used mainly in low-volume applications. Motorized overhead trolleys have wheels that run on a rail and are driven by a motor.

UNSPSC 24101750 Overhead track conveyor is a Commodity code that encompasses conveyor system equipment and components sourced through state and local procurement. The code captures purchases of specialized conveyor parts, motors, belts, sensors, control systems, and related hardware that municipalities and state agencies acquire to support material-handling operations at facilities including water treatment plants, document management centers, and storage operations. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code include municipal water utilities, state departments, and city governments. Scope of work ranges from eight-year framework contracts for comprehensive conveyor component inventories with detailed pricing on 185+ line items to single-location installations of Flow Turn Conveyor systems with specified dimensions, motors, and safety features. Vendors must typically hold manufacturer authorization, demonstrate five or more years of conveyor system experience, and maintain appropriate insurance and bonding. Work requires compliance with federal civil rights provisions, state apprenticeship initiatives where applicable, and heat illness prevention standards for outdoor installation and maintenance.

Geographic spread of on-target activity is limited to Arizona, Illinois, and California.
