Monorail Material Handling System

A monorail system is primarily designed to operate overhead and not interfere with ground level activities.

Monorail material handling system. Monorails can be driven manually or powered. For materials that are too bulky or heavy to move through a process or facility with lift trucks or fixed floor mounted conveyors monorails and workstation cranes move and position loads. A monorail system is typically mounted to an existing overhead structure to preserve floor space or can be customized to meet company production and safety specifications. When using a simple or straight monorail path the system can easily be mounted using a freestanding frame system.

Flexible track mounting systems for simple installation and multiple track sizes accommodate a wide range of loads. Curved rail sections are available for navigating obstructions. Power operated overhead monorails systems are typically powered by air hydraulics or electricity. Overhead material handling systems can be supported on single or multiple girders and can be top running or bottom running.

Monorail systems are used to aid in material handling were x y z movement like that in a bridge crane is not needed. They are available in various capacities. Monorails are typically used for single axis transfer applications in small areas. Monorails are typically used for single axis transfer applications in small areas.

Monorail systems move materials and parts in a fixed path using a single rail. Perfect for production processes such as painting or moving raw materials. Typically overhead monorail systems are used to move parts station to station in an assembly facility store queue parts overhead to save floor space or staging parts in a paint booth or similar. Up down and forward back along the monorail beam.

Monorails unlike cranes that are fixed within one bay span can run through multiple bays and column lines in both the x and y directions. Mht produces manual overhead conveyor and monorail transfer systems that are modular in design for ease of installation and modification. A monorail system consists of a single straight or curved i beam supported at each end middle supports may be necessary depending on size with a trolley and hoist to travel back and forth for material handling. They maximize the vertical space in a facility by transporting loads overhead.

Monorail systems use patented track that feature a flat hard alloy operating flange designed specifically for crane and monorail systems increasing the life of the material handling system and components. The monorail allows two axes of hook movement.
