Ergonomic
In-floor installation provides operators with 360-degree access to their work. Additionally, assembly carts can vary from simple four-wheeled carts to mobile ergonomic workstations with lift, lower, and rotate capabilities.
Cost-effective & Reliable:
For many years after its initial installation, SI’s towline systems are still reliably operating thanks to its durable design and low maintenance, continuing to transport work through its manufacturing processes.

The powered chain recessed into an in-floor track is encoded to assure accurate tracking. SI’s carts (sometimes referred to as “carriers”) are dependably towed
SI’s towline (sometimes referred to as “towveyor” or “drag chain system”) seamlessly integrates into new or existing facilities.
SI’s conveyor options include; cart-to-cart accumulation; diverting and merging hardware, which allows carts to selectively change paths; as well as control systems based on state-of-the-art PLC controls and variable frequency drive (VFD) technology.
Typically used for “round trip” transport, SI’s Lo-Tow Towline is often configured in a “loop” allowing the carts to cycle from start-to-finish-to-start. This jam-resistant design reduces downtime and maintenance while increasing quality and throughput.
Typically used for “one way” transport, SideFinger Towline is configured in a straight line. This towline conveyor is preferred for assembly and manufacturing as it utilizes an enhanced virtually jam-free design, reducing downtime and maintenance while Increasing quality and throughput.
SI Systems’ highly experienced staff renovates and repairs existing towline conveyor systems manufactured by other factories.
SI’s proprietary ‘No Fault Forward’ (NFF) technology provides manufacturing operations with the highest levels of quality, accuracy and productivity by assuring that workstation operations are completed to specifications. With NFF technology, non-conforming work will not advance forward in the assembly process.
