Monorail crane systems are a type of lifting devices that are an option for conventional cranes or conveyors. These cranes that are used for bulky and heavy materials to carry through a process or facility, occupy very less vertical space.
These industrial winches are operated manually or with the help of wireless controls. These controls help in their horizontal, vertical or lateral load movements. Monorails are generally found in manufacturing industries to transport loads from one process to next. They are dedicated to a specific location to support lifting of loads for that particular step.
The different processes and handling facilities that use monorail crane systems are
Assembly: These cranes help in carrying semi-finished goods from one production process to other.
Positioning: These lifting devices lift the component and place them in correct position for further work in the manufacturing process. These devices are very helpful in areas where a human cannot intervene.
Transportation: Once the goods are manufactured, the cranes help to load on to trucks or trailers to take them to storage units.
Staging: The manufacturing good can be held at one place by the monorail cranes for completing the production process.
Storage: The cranes application can be seen in warehouses and storage areas to move heavy items to/from the units.
Warehousing: The cranes help in moving large and heavy products to and from docks.
The cranes use can be seen in different departments across industries like automotive, chemicals, commercial printing, manufacturing, paper, steel, and warehousing and distribution.
