ABSTRACT:
A hoist plating line comprising a plurality of plating tanks disposed in a linear array and an elongated track extending longitudinally above the tanks and including means for bodily moving the track between raised and lowered positions above the tanks. A plurality of carts are mounted on the track and are coupled by drive chains to electric motors disposed at one of the track ends for translating the carts longitudinally of the track above the tanks in both the raised and lowered positions of the track. The carts include carrier hands adapted to cooperate with pick-up adapters associated with workpieces suspended in the various tanks for lifting, translating and depositing the workpieces among the plating tank locations. A plurality of proximity detectors are spaced longitudinally of the track and cooperate with the carts for identifying plating locations associated with the various tanks disposed beneath the track.
