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). How Flexible are our Monorail Cranes? All Yaplex monorails have great layout flexibility – systems can be provided with curves, slopes, drop sections, multiple tracks, directional switches and several hanger combinations. The lifting device or hangers can be manually pushed or powered along the monorail. To find out more about our monorail cranes load capacity, please call our trained staff on 01246 860114
