The Next Generation of Overhead Track Switches

This switch has been designed to provide better durability, performance, longevity, and ease-of-maintenance.  The SST stands for "Short Section Track" referring to the shorter lift section on the SST.  This means trolleys spend less time on the spans, which reduces the chance of temporary or permanent horizontal deflection.  The SST also has a redesigned pivot connection that evenly distributes bearing surface pressures, reducing the chance of warping.  The SST eliminates off-center landings with thick steel vertical locator guide tabs at both ends of the intersection point of the switch.  When it comes to maintenance, the SST and its fully adjustable tie rods make adjustments a piece of cake.  The SST's tie rod bushings are metal-to-metal and are less susceptible than nylon bushings to the heat and cold degredation that can commonly occur in meat plants.  The direction selector on the SST is mounted out of the way on the side of the upright yoke, not on the pivot/axle bolt that forces it to hang several inches below the meat rail.
