Ceiling supported monorail crane systems utilize existing ceiling structures eliminating the need to install columns that create obstructions in valuable production space. One important thing to consider when looking at ceiling mounted monorails is the reserve capacity of the ceiling structure. CraneWerks engineering services can aid you in determining the reserve capacity of your existing ceiling as well as other structures to determine if a ceiling mounted monorail industrial crane is right for the application.
CraneWerks’ ceiling supported monorail systems are designed with clamped suspension hangers and easy to install sway bracing (when required). Some monorail overhead cranes may bolt directly to an existing ceiling or other support structure. Other situations may require the monorail to hang down in order to avoid obstructions such as lights, heaters, pipes, etc. In these cases CraneWerks can provide custom engineered support hangers and superstructures to lower to monorail. The image below shows a custom build superstructure to support an enclosed track oval monorail industrial crane system.
Patented track is often used when curves and switches are required. This track has a hardened lower flange which extends the life of the ceiling supported monorail system and allows for easy movement in push/pull applications. This track is easily used with curves, switches and transfer bridges. They can connect to other monorails and bridge cranes and are great when material must be moved throughout different areas in the plant.
Economical way of manipulating small to large loads
Bolt together construction for easy installation can be relocated and added onto as needed.
Typical ceiling supported monorail systems have capacities that range between ¼ and 10-ton

In the late 1990s, CraneWerks noticed that the American crane industry was in trouble. Big overseas companies were making huge inroads into the US market by setting up their own sales networks. Their seemingly unlimited resources and capabilities made it increasingly difficult for independent US dealers to stay competitive.
Against that backdrop, CraneWerks was founded in 1997 with a vision: give independent American dealers a chance to compete in their own backyard by giving them the opportunity to say “Yes” to all their customers’ overhead material handling needs.
The actions we take in our lives create lasting reverberations, often enduring beyond our time. Roger Graham, a cherished member of the CraneWerks family for 18 years, was a remarkable and generous individual whose actions and words have left a lasting impact. His legacy continues to resonate with those who had the privilege of knowing or working with him. In honor of his memory, the Roger Graham Scholarship is presented each year to a deserving local high school senior pursuing education in a trade school.
