MONORAIL CRANES
What is a monorail overhead crane?
Monorail Overhead Cranes are commonly used for production processes that require lifting and moving products / loads in a fixed path, such as painting processes, zinc plating operations, moving raw materials to workstations, assembly operations, or area to area transfers.
Crane Movement
There are only two directions of movement: vertical and horizontal, there are no lateral movements compared with an X-Y crane.
Heavy load capacity
There is no set structure of this crane, as each one is different and custom to your needs, however there are set parts which can be identified in all monorails. There is usually a steel beam which is floor or roof-mounted from column supports, this supports a fixed overhead track that uses trolleys and an electric hoist to lift heavy loads from 125kg to 20,000kg (20T).
