Ceiling & Free Standing, Straight & Curve 
Monorail Cranes & Monorail Hoist 

The versatility of monorail overhead cranes allows the development of a wide range of solutions. Our monorail cranes are guaranteed to satisfy the needs of your particular applications. The main types of monorail crane systems are listed below, including:

Types of monorail cranes

• To increase floor area, ceiling-supported monorail systems are most frequently used.
• If the structure of your building is insufficient to sustain the monorail crane system, floor supported monorails are also an option.
• Single beams offer greater versatility by allowing for straight monorail or curved monorail portions.
• Monorail crane systems frequently include interlocks and/or switches to make switching between systems simple.

Monorail cranes work best in manufacturing settings when goods need to be transferred repeatedly from one place to another. For applications requiring a small lifting capacity, the monorail crane, hoist and trolley are a more affordable option than overhead crane or gantry cranes.

The transportation of materials to workstations, assembly activities, and lines where parts are blasted, painted, or coated are a few examples. In locations where a bridge overhead crane is impractical, monorails can be used as an alternate method of material handling.

Monorail cranes may be used in practically any building thanks to their simple design.

Large items may need to be moved around factories or building sites throughout the day. Nonetheless, you might need to take into account the building you're using when erecting a crane to lift these materials. Certain buildings lack the space required for conveyor belts or a standard overhead crane to operate. A monorail crane may be useful in this situation. They can conserve floor space and are simple to install on the majority of structures. As a result, you can transport your heavy goods from one location to another without running out of room or endangering the structure you're using.

A monorail crane can be altered to suit both indoor and outdoor operations.

A monorail can be utilized both indoors and outdoors, whether you have an indoor factory and need a crane to move goods for an outdoor setting. Also, they can be modified as necessary to reflect changes to your project. So, your monorail system can be customized to your new configuration if you need to make modifications to your setup.

Monorail cranes are fast and simple to use for moving objects.

Sometime the traditional cranes can be difficult to operate. With so many variables such as leverage, speed, weight, and so on, moving products can take more time and energy than expected. Monorail cranes are simple to operate and transport items in a timely and safe manner. So you can get set up quickly and start working right away.

What are the limitations of monorail cranes?

Monorail crane system have only two hook movement axes: up/down with the electric hoist hook movement and forward/back along the monorail beam and monorail track. If your application needs lateral motion, you'll need to consider other options, such as an overhead crane or gantry crane.

The light monorail cranes have a wide range of applications in a variety of sectors.The  monorail crane systems can be used to  

• move, store, and queue up materials above the ground, etc.
• hoist a load over a predetermined route.
• Multiple lines and storage.
• Material switching and transfer.

Monorail cranes are made to tackle the time-consuming, repetitive tasks that lead to staff burnout. A monorail crane can speed up the process and boost efficiency at the workplace in applications where materials need to be transferred laterally from one place to another. Our monorail crane systems are an affordable substitute for larger, more complex bridge cranes and gantry cranes. 

A monorail crane system will precisely follow your current framework.

• Lift along both a straight and curved path.
• Enable for the movement of goods through narrow passageways.
• Be transformed into a girder crane system.

A monorail system could be the solution if you routinely handle products that are too large or cumbersome to transfer with lift trucks or workstation cranes. Monorail cranes maximize the vertical space in your business while providing superior power and load management. They are often utilized for heavy-duty applications in almost every sector of the economy, including the production of automobiles, power generation, and more. Waste water treatment plants, loading docks, assembly lines, and manufacturing processes typically use monorails.

A monorail crane has no moving girder, in contrast to bridge and gantry cranes. Instead, a supporting I-beam is followed by the trolley as it pulls the hoist. Only up and down as well as along the I-track beam's can the load be shifted in three dimensions.

The monorail crane configuration has the enormous benefit of not requiring a linear I-beam, which is one of its main advantages. It is actually possible for it to be curved, which would allow the hoist to travel through a complicated course between stations. Moreover, the plan may have branches, switches, and even elevation changes.

Installations of monorail cranes are typically tailored for certain purposes. They are frequently used, for instance, to move products through a production process or along an assembly line. 

Monorails

Bridge cranes

Monorail cranes are distinct from other types of cranes since they are made to move loads in a single linear path. This simple solution, which is likely the best for linear overhead material handling, improves facility productivity and safety.

Comparison Between Overhead Crane and Monorail Crane

Both for material handling works.

Both overhead crane and monorail cranes perform the same type of material handling works. 

The running track is clearly different.

• Overhead crane for longitudinal moving along crane rails. In the overhead crane, its crane rails and tracks  are laid on the both side of the crane girder, and the birdge crane move on both sides of elevated longitudinal running. Of course, it's a running lifting trolley on the lateral bridge. As a result, it provides an excellent solution for lifting heavy materials while not impeding ground equipment.
• Monorail crane for straight and curved movement along track for liner movement. Whereas,  a monorail crane has a hoisting mechanism. It can move along the monorail crane mechanism's track direction. The electric hoist suspends to drive on track and hoist to do simple linear movement along the track direction.

Crane application is different

Even though both overhead cranes and monorails are used for material handling  their application and operation conditons  are different . 

• The ovehread cranes are widely used for docks and opens in both indoor and outdoor warehouses, with capacity from 1 ton to 320 ton.   They can be used for a variety of purposes that are tailored to specific movements.
• Monorail cranes, on the other hand, are ideal for making a noticeable difference. It is primarily used to lift heavy objects and takes into account linear interval applications, with capacity up to 20 ton. 

Easy lifting mechanism

Overhead crane for material handling in 3 dimension space

• Crane travelling or long travelling along crane rail for horizontal movement
• Cross travelling of crane hoist along crane girder
• Vertical travelling of hoist hook

Monorail crane for material handling in 2 direction - vertical and liner movement

• Monorails hoist movement along crane rail or track path for liner movement
• Monorail hoist hook move for vertical lifting

Why the price of monorail cranes is more economical than overhead crane?

A monorail crane system is one of the most affordable crane systems on the market.

A typical monorail crane will cost roughly half the price of a bridge crane, depending on capacity. This is due in part to the fact that a monorail crane is more minimal and thus has a lighter-weight structure, as well as the fact that it does not require motorized end trucks to operate the hoist's linear motion.

Another cost consideration is that monorail cranes require less maintenance than overhead bridge cranes due to fewer moving parts. This means that they have lower long-term operating costs than bridge cranes. Click to check Overhead Crane vs.A Frame Gantry Crane, Monorail Cranes

Because of all of the obvious advantages of a monorail crane system, there are only two factors that will influence whether you install one or not.

• Is your manufacturing or production process following the same linear path?
• Is the cost of a bridge crane over budget?

If your crane needs to pick up and set down a load along the same linear path, there is no better solution than a monorail crane.

Aside from being specifically designed for this task, it also has the advantage of being: 

• Simple to use.
• Approximately half the cost of an overhead bridge crane.
• Capable of covering large distances.
• Totally customizable to fit any production space.
• Capable of operating in an environment with no structural support options.
