Top-Mech’s monorail crane is a lifting device that relocates materials or products within a restricted location. Monorail cranes can be designed into the building structure, where they are inserted into the building via building columns, or by adding and reinforcing different types of monorail beam supports. The monorail crane is available with a manual or fully motorized trolley.
Need a better solution to lift and transport loads easily in a building? Top Mech suggests you to invest in a monorail overhead crane. This idea is simple in design and provides space savings in the long run.
The working of the monorail crane is based on the use of the monorail track which is an aerial guideway in which trains run on either side. To understand more about monorail, we illustrated its meaning and purpose so you can have a better idea of what it is and how it works.
What is a monorail crane?
A monorail crane is a type of crane that consists of a single beam with a hoist. They are widely used in industrial applications – moving materials, tools and equipment within a restricted area. Many find the monorail crane appealing in nature as it is simple to use and economical in cost.
In terms of mobility, monorail cranes can move along two axes – up and down via the hoist and front and backward movement via the monorail beam. They are mostly subjected to gravity loads and are used for both outdoor and indoor work sites.
Two types of monorail cranes
There are two types of monorail overhead cranes in terms of functionality:
Manually operated monorail cranes.
Electrical operated monorail cranes.
There are also two types of travel paths for the monorail cranes:
Monorail cranes running on a straight path.
Monorail cranes running on a curved path.
The characteristics of monorail cranes
These cranes are made of steel.
If a workspace has a constricted space, monorail cranes are a great option for saving space.
The lifting capacity of monorails varies in the industry. In general, they can carry a load of up to 5000kg.
Monorails are easy to install, move and dismantle if needed.
They are durable and require less maintenance.
