The present disclosure relates to an overhead rail system having a pair of parallel rails, mountable to an overhead structure, and a rack line fixedly mounted underneath each rail. A pair of chariots is mounted on the pair of parallel rails. Each chariot has upper and lower bearings rollably connecting the chariot to a respective one of the pair of parallel rails. The bearings allow longitudinal movement of the chariot along a length of the parallel rails while limiting movement of the chariot in other directions. Each chariot has a pinion configured to engage respective rack lines. A drive system is operatively connected to the pinion of at least one of the chariots.
