Design of railway for overhead materials handling involves two factors: strength and capacity to carry required load, and ability to maintain efficient service over long periods; improved design by means of raised tread; consideration of other factors such as composition of steel used; switch points, and amount of clearance required; calculation of permissible stresses; examples of applications in textile and metal industry, handling sheet steel, etc.
