Monorails

Product

Your Workstation Solution

If you have an operation which moves material repetitively from one point to another, a monorail crane system is for you! The monorail hoist and trolley run on a single stationary beam—a cost-effective alternative to a bridge or gantry cranes for applications that require limited lifting capacity.

Monorails are a highly versatile lifting device that can have curves, switches, turntables and can even connect to overhead bridge cranes or conveyors. Manufacturers commonly utilize these cranes to relocate materials or products within a restricted location, as opposed to throughout an entire building.

Monorails are a great solution for:

Assembly operations
Transport of materials to workstations
Product lines where parts are blasted, painted, or coated.

Monorails also serve as a material handling alternative in places that cannot accommodate a bridge crane. Monorails provide only two axes of hook movement: up/down via the hoist and forward/back via the monorail beam.

If your application requires lateral motion, you’ll want to consider our alternative bridge crane and/or gantry crane options.
