What is a monorail system?

A monorail system is a fixed lifting solution in which a hoist moves along a single rail (profile) that is mounted to the ceiling or supporting structure. The load follows a predefined path, ensuring controlled and efficient movement.

Monorail systems are ideal for repetitive transport movements between fixed points, such as along production lines, workstations or storage zones.

Typical applications

  • Production lines with fixed transport movements
  • Assembly and installation processes
  • Movement between different workstations
  • Warehouses and internal logistics
  • Integration into existing crane systems

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

A monorail is ideal when loads follow the same path between fixed points, such as along production lines, between workstations or in warehouses with fixed routes. The system ensures controlled and repeatable movements, increasing the efficiency and safety of repetitive processes.

Yes, a monorail path can be fully customised with straight sections, curves, switches and branches. This makes complex logistics routes possible within a single building. The system can be mounted to the ceiling, the roof structure or a steel structure and can be expanded afterwards.

Monorails are available with lifting capacities from 125 kg to 10 tonnes, depending on the rail type and the supporting structure. Operation can be manual or electric via pendant control or radio control, with options for semi- or fully automatic operation for automated production processes.
