MONORAIL SYSTEMS

What is a monorail and what is the purpose of their design?
Monorail systems are engineered to transport under-hung trolley hoists along an individual beam runway configuration.

These types of systems can be designed in the following ways:
  • A basic setup enabling the trolley hoist to move along a straight steel beam from a one single point to another. (A-B point travel arrangement) 
  • An advanced system that is set up to allow the trolley hoist to maneuver along a curved or bending beam. (Can sometimes be configured with multiple transfer switches)

The ideal application for a monorail hoist system is one in which the product being transferred overhead must follow a precise and pre-established route; thus tracking the path of the monorail beam that is installed. 
Monorails can be used in many different types of material handling and lifting applications including but not limited to the following:
  • transferring products through paint booths
  • assembly lines used for production
  • transfer system storage
  • variety of process applications
  • delivery systems within plants and factories
  • wide array of service areas
  • Over or underneath a buildings mezzanine

A monorail overhead hoist system is generally fastened directly underneath the current support structure of the facilities roof.
 
In some cases, situations arise where there are obstructions like heaters, vents, gas pipes, water lines, or pre-existing equipment that could prevent the system from being secured directly to the underside of the roof trusses. Luckily this can be solved by using drop hangers to support the monorail beam from the roof support structure.
 
When a company is unable to mount the monorail beam from the roof, there is a solution to connect the system to a self-supporting or free-standing structure. These types of structures are often referred to as goal posts or A-frames. 

If a monorail crane system is not right for your application then there is always an option of looking at a 2 ton overhead crane or a 5 ton bridge crane depending on your requirements.
