The Hiemac Speed Rail system is a sturdy, chrome steel, modular construction. The standard components clip and screw together to form an over head rail system that is durable and maintenance free.

No welding is done on site and the rail can be easily pulled down and re-erected in another configuration or shifted to another building and put together in a completely different format.

Fully laded skids move around the warehouse with ease, our elevators, with their gravity run off rails don’t require operators at the top or bottom until the rails are full.
Our rapid load system saves many hours at the loading docks.

A complete set of engineering and site drawings are prepared before any work commences to ensure the customer knows exactly what is going to be installed.
The steel work and components are prefabricated at the factory ensuring minimal site time and inconvenience to the customer.

Mezzanine floors with racking on both levels has been one of our many good products. The steel work required to construct the mezzanine doubles as the rack and rail support underneath, this reduces the overall steel content for the whole system considerably. With our automatic elevator system this makes for an economical method to increase your workable floor space.

Dedicated hung apparel racking can be multi tiered, is fully adjustable and designed so garments can slide the full length of the installation. Avoiding lifting and carrying and making it easy for consolidation and re-organising.

chain-conveyors

Computer controlled or automated chain conveyors can transport and deliver garments to various stations around the warehouse automatically, without operator assistance.

Speed Rail canvas carriers are ideal for carrying folded textiles or odd shaped goods. They fold up flat when not in use for easy transport back to base.

Auto Dispatch – barcoded trolleys laden with bags of garments are fed into the chain conveyor. The bar code is read as the trolleys move along the conveyor and their destinations logged into the PLC. The trolleys are then directed down one of the many dispatch rails automatically. They accumulate here until the rapid load truck picks them up and delivers them to the store.
