Monorail Overhead Crane: Straight & Curved Monorail Hoist Crane

Monorail Overhead Crane - straight monorails & curved monorail hoist crane for economical fixed and accurate material hoisting .For an accurate, controlled and steady material handling operation, a combination of straight beam and curves monorail overhead cranes may enhance your workflow.

When ventilation or other obstructions limit the capability of a overhead girder crane system, a monorail overhead crane solution with curve segments is also a popular choice. In manufacturing and processing lines where a worker can handle raw materials from the start of the line where they receive the items to the end of the line of the final packaging stations, overhead monorail hoist cranes are typically employed.

This improved material handling solution to closed systems enables the operator to aim high while maintaining control over the straight monorail overhead crane system and the curve monorail overhead crane system, both of which offer precise operation.

No matter how your facility is set up, we can customize a solution to fit your demands thanks to the system's modular design. Straight monorail hoist cranes can be used in conjunction with 45-degree angular modules to bypass obstacles, fit through tight spaces, and precisely follow your current structure. The purpose of the curve and monorail modules is to improve your workflow's suspension system.

When a sideways transit is not required, the monorail hoist crane can successfully provide a workflow that moves in a straight line. This simple monorail solution is the most cost-effective and efficient solution for a highly productive workplace.

The modular design of types of monorail hoist crane systems always provide the option of enlarging, reconfiguring, and even turning the system into an open, x-y girder overhead crane system at any point if you're unsure how your operations may alter in the future.

If you get in touch with us, we can tailor a solution to your operational needs.

Description of curved monorail hoist crane

A curved monorail hoist crane is a type of lifting device used to move a load from point A to point B along a non-linear path. Based on the hoist carriage radius allowance, this sort of monorail overhead crane is produced by bending to the necessary radius of curvature.

Assembly of a curved monorail hoist crane is based on the layout of the site. A concrete slab, an existing steel structure, or a self-supporting structure are where curved monorails are secured. The pair beam and base assembly is a free-standing structure in the self-supporting construction.

Depending on the length needed to convey the load, a monorail may be single beam designed or constructed using a splice bar assembly.

Curved monorails beams

Curved monorail hoist cranes can accommodate a variety of different hoisting requirements. They can follow tangential straights, compound forms traveling in various directions with varying radii, or simple curves.

Curved monorail overhead cranes should always have design radii that are as large as is practically possible. The centerline radius should ideally be 12–14 times the flange width or greater.

Certain beams are not acceptable for curving monorails as they leave the mill if the flange widths, overall squareness, and uniformity are not within strict specifications. The following conditions have been seen in delivered beams:

• Flange width varies by more than 1/2" over 30'.
• Flanges that are not parallel to one another.
• Web that is off-center with relation to the flanges.
• Differences between the top and bottom's flange widths.

Types of curved monorails beams

There are numerous beam profiles available for the construction of curved monorails.

• IPE steel rails are offered in a variety of finishing options, including the selection of a particular paint with or without metallization or galvanization.
• Hollow steel rail is made to give the trolley's steering a lot of flexibility. This particular rail is intended for use indoors in non-corrosive workshops.
• Aluminum hollow rail was created for its comfort in handling weights in unique settings.
• 304 or 316L stainless steel rail constructed from reconstituted profile. This particular stainless steel rail is provided passivated and stripped. We can make a microbead-blasting finish for monorails meant for the space sector or food business.

For corrosive environments, clean rooms, or ATEX zones, all monorails can be equipped with manual, electric, or air hoists in addition to the regular versions (according to regulations). The hoist trolley's adaptability will also affect the monorail's bowing radius. Bogie trolleys are essential in specific situations.

Our company develops and produces specialized constructions with lifting monorails and hanging beams. We provide you with customized equipment such as the monorail gantry crane , bridge crane monorail, double-rail gantry with overhead crane, double-rail gantry with suspension crane, and fixed handling gantry crane, depending on the situation and the particulars of your design brief.

• Hangers, jack stands or columns, I-beam wall brackets, flat-welded attachment, and Halfen rail are examples of specific ceiling or wall anchorage.
• Normal or particular paint, a unique primer, and sanding.
• ·Stainless steel version.
• Rail split into smaller components with a splint connection.
• Hand-held hoist
• Hoists that use pneumatic air or electricity.
• Trolley with electric, manual, or air steering.

A straight monorail overhead crane is a lifting equipment used to transport a weight from point A to point B. There are numerous names for monorails, including suspended beams, IPE, IPN, and HEA beams. The idea is the same: to translate a load along a predetermined path in order to transport it in a straight line.

Straight monorail hoist crane assembly -The assembly is determined by the site's configuration. Straight monorail overhead cranes and straight beams are anchored under a concrete slab, under an existing steel structure or under a self-supporting structure. The couple beam and base assembly is a free-standing structure in the self-supporting structure.

Single monorails / assembled monorails -A monorail bridge crane can be single beam built or created using a splice bar assembly, depending on the length needed to transport the load.

Types of beams straight monorails

There are several beam profiles available for straight monorail manufacturing.

• IPE steel rails are available in a variety of finishing options, including specific paint with or without metallization and galvanization process selection.
• ·Hollow steel rail designed to provide a great flexibility of the trolley steering. This rail is intended for indoor use in non-corrosive environments such as workshops.
• Aluminum hollow rail designed for ergonomics when handling loads in harsh environments.
• 304 or 316L stainless steel rail constructed from reconstituted profile. This stainless steel rail is delivered stripped with passivation applied. We can create a microbead-blasting finish for monorails used in the space or food industries.

Many solutions are available for fixing monorails:hangers, Jack stands or pillars, Wall brachet anchoring, Flat-welded attachments, Halfen rail, Special ceiling or wall mountings,etc.
