Monorail overhead crane systems supported by ceilings leverage the existing ceiling structures, thus negating the requirement for columns that could obstruct valuable production areas.

​

When considering ceiling-mounted monorails, it’s crucial to evaluate the load-bearing capacity of the ceiling structure.

​

AmeriCrane’s engineering team can assist you in assessing your ceiling’s reserve capacity and other structural elements to ascertain whether a ceiling-mounted monorail crane fits your application.

Monorails can be employed in virtually any setting, aiding in tasks ranging from unloading trucks to dismantling dies and equipment.

​

For monorails navigating curves and switches, patented track systems are available, facilitating the movement of materials across different plant sections.

​

Monorail spurs assist in transferring loads between bridge cranes or from a bridge crane to another section of the facility.

​

Independent monorails can come with a protruding beam on either or both ends. These extensions enable access to areas beyond the system’s support columns, such as pits or dock zones.

​

Furthermore, for free-standing monorails where column-header pairs aren’t feasible, cantilevered supports can be opted for.
