Why Track Busway
USA TrackBusway combines the strength of structural steel strut with the flexibility of a continuous open-slot plug-in busway. Listed to UL 857 for overhead power distribution, it allows PowerDrops, data modules, and overhead fixtures to be added or repositioned anywhere along the run — without rewiring. This creates a safer, more scalable, and future-ready overhead infrastructure for industrial, commercial, and open-ceiling environments.
Traditional plug-in busway restricts access to fixed tap windows. USA TrackBusway provides a fully continuous access slot with finger-safe, pre-breakered plug-ins, allowing power drops to be placed exactly where needed as layouts change. Facilities gain the flexibility to reconfigure workcells, aisles, and test stations without shutdowns or new conduit.
Continuous Open-Slot Access vs. Fixed Tap Limitations
Many overhead power systems rely on fixed connection points, which restrict where devices can be placed. USA TrackBusway eliminates these constraints with a continuous open-slot design that allows plug-ins anywhere along the run. Every inch of the system is usable, enabling rapid reconfiguration without rewiring or redesign.
Flexible Overhead Power Distribution
USA TrackBusway™ delivers single- and three-phase power through a continuous open slot, allowing devices to plug in at any point along the run. Because the system is UL 857 listed for overhead power distribution, it meets safety requirements for both commercial and industrial facilities. Multi-voltage support (120V, 208V, 240V, 277V, 480V) reduces the number of homeruns, eliminates conduit changes, and gives facilities far greater adaptability as equipment or layouts evolve.
Flexible Layouts with Criss‑Cross Grids
Unlike fixed-spacing track systems, USA TrackBusway™ allows rows to intersect anywhere. Criss-cross layouts support irregular ceiling geometries and provide full design freedom across labs, industrial bays, tech suites, and open manufacturing floors. Because intersections can occur at any point, facilities can expand organically without being locked into predefined grid spacing.
Fewer Feeds & Simplified Wiring
Most Track Busway installations require just one homerun feed for the main trunk. Branch rows receive power through jumpers rather than additional conduit runs, dramatically reducing wiring complexity and labor. This trunk-and-branch approach lowers installation costs and makes future expansion as simple as plugging in a new length.
UL 857 Overhead Busway — Not Lighting Track
USA TrackBusway is UL 857–listed overhead plug-in busway designed for distributing 120V, 208V, 240V, 277V, and 480V power overhead. UL 1574 lighting track is limited to lighting-only loads, while UL 857 supports receptacle loads, equipment circuits, industrial benches, production lines, and flexible workspace layouts. This ensures USA TrackBusway is understood as a true overhead power distribution system rather than lighting track
Precise Placement with Bridge Kits
Bridge kits enable perpendicular runs across existing rows, allowing PowerDrops, data modules, and lighting to be placed with precise overhead alignment. This is ideal for workstations, assembly cells, or equipment clusters that require exact positioning. Bridges eliminate layout constraints and extend power wherever the workflow demands.
Track + Strut: Strong & Pre‑Wired
USA TrackBusway™ uses pre-wired 12-gauge steel to combine structural support and power delivery in one system. The steel strut body carries fixtures, signage, cable trays, and heavier loads while simultaneously delivering continuous electrical access. This unified design reduces installation complexity and supports long-term durability in demanding environments.
Integrations: Power, Data & Décor on One System
Track Busway consolidates power, lighting, structured cabling, and décor elements onto a single overhead system. Instead of maintaining separate infrastructure for each utility, facilities can plug in what they need — and move it later — without shutdowns or rewiring. This creates a cleaner ceiling, reduces future labor costs, and supports fast layout changes in manufacturing, labs, office, retail, and R&D environments.
WATCH: PowerDrops from Track Busway — Plug-In Power Made Easy
USA TrackBusway™ delivers tool-free, overhead power using Breakered PowerDrops that plug directly into the system. This video highlights how users can switch between circuits instantly using the Flip Fitter—just rotate 180°.
Built for flexible workflows, this plug-in busway solution eliminates rewiring while keeping power exactly where it’s needed.
