Spanco Monorail Cranes are ideal for production processes that require lifting and moving products along a fixed path, such as painting processes, moving raw materials to workstations, or warehouse-to-warehouse transfer.
Our monorails have great layout flexibility, including curves, hangers for slopes (up to 14 degrees), multiple tracks, and switches to multiple spurs.
These economical monorails are an excellent alternative for work areas that cannot be serviced by bridge cranes, hard-to-reach locations, buildings with high ceilings, or—with our freestanding monorails—outdoor areas without existing overhead structures.
Options and Components
CEILING-MOUNTED MONORAIL CRANES
Require no floor space for support columns. The monorail tracks are:
- Flush-mounted parallel to ceiling beams.
- Cross-mounted to ceiling beams.
- Mounted with any length drop-rods (requires sway bracing), including hangers for slopes up to 14 degrees.
- Other mounting methods are available including wood joist connections.
FREESTANDING MONORAILS
Provide permanently installed monorail systems over long spans where there are no existing structures for mounting. Freestanding monorail configurations include:
- Cantilevered systems,
- H-frame systems, typically requiring only standard 6-inch reinforced concrete floor,
- T-frame systems, ideal for parallel monorail lines (e.g. send and return).
