Abstract
The load conveyer system includes a pair of rails that carry endless chains. Each rail has its own dedicated drive motor that operates independently of the other. The motors are sized to fit within the vertical height or vertical envelope of the rail, so that the motor does not interfere with movement of the load carried by the rail. Each rail and drive motor are independently mountable to an underlying support surface as a module.
