Conductor Rails are electrical conductors of varius profiles that are used to provide electrical potential to moving systems along a path of travel. Conductor rails are mobile electrification techniolgy for moving transportation vehicles and equipment. Common applications include: Manfucturing robts, material handling systems, trains, mobile hoistsnad cranes. automated storage and retrieval systems, and buses.

Conductor rail systems are available in a variety of configuration depending on applications requirements Enclosed conductor systems typicall enclose conductors in a protective conduit meeting safety standards set forth an applicable national or international standard, such as National Electrical Code (NEC).

Trench conductors are conductor rails that are configured or installed below or just above above ground typically used for power feeding of dockside cranes, loading bridges, container handling equipment etc.

Selecting conductor rail systems starts with an analysis of electrical power requirements, operating environment and any special features required.
