Embodiment Construction

[0028] As used herein, an element or step recited in the singular and proceeded with the word "a" or "an" should be understood as not excluding plural elements or steps, unless such exclusion is explicitly stated. Furthermore, references to "exemplary embodiment" or "one embodiment" of the present disclosure are not intended to be interpreted as excluding the existence of other embodiments that also incorporate the recited features.

[0029] Embodiments described herein provide a transportation system that includes a carrier assembly that is suspended from and travels along an elevated track. The carrier assembly includes a plurality of modular bodies coupled together. The modular body is coupled to the track such that the carrier assembly moves along the track. For example, in some embodiments, each body is substantially U-shaped and is coupled to the track on opposite sides of the track by a pair of wheels extending from the legs of the U-shaped body. At least one drive sy...

Abstract

A carriage assembly for a transport system includes a first body and a second body configured to moveably couple to a beam defining a transport path. The carriage assembly also includes a carrier coupled to the first body and the second body. The carrier is configured to support a container such that the carriage assembly transports the container along the transport path. The carriage assembly further includes a drive system coupled to at least one of the first body and the second body. The drive system is configured to move the carriage assembly along the transport path.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 427,642, filed November 29, 2016, and U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 487,597, filed April 20, 2017, the entire disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety middle. technical field [0003] The field of the disclosure relates generally to transportation systems, and more particularly, to transportation systems including carrier assemblies configured to transport containers along tracks. Background technique [0004] In at least some known transportation systems, containers are loaded onto vehicles and moved between transfer locations. In some transfer locations, containers are placed on and / or removed from the coach vehicle and / or sea vessel. In at least some known transportation systems, operators and / or operator-controlled machines handle containers at transfer locations. Each time an operator a...
