Lifting telescopic monorail

Lifting telescopic monorail description 

A lifting telescopic monorail is a device made up of two overlapped monorails. The first one is usually anchored under a concrete slab or under an existing steel structure. The second one can be moved by translation on driving manual, electric or air trolleys.

This allows the lifting device to be stored in a siding without any disturbance to the rest of the area.

Both monorails are equipped with end stops as standard.

Lifting telescopic monorail assembly

Assembly depends on the configuration of the site. Lifting telescopic monorails are anchored under a concrete slab, under an existing steel structure or under a self-supporting structure. In the case of the self-supporting structure, the couple beam and base assembly is a free-standing structure.

Single monorails / assembled monorails

Depending on the length required to move the load, a monorail is single beam designed or by splice bar assembly dedicated for the support beam and without splint for the telescopic beam.

Types of beams for telescopic monorails

Several beam profiles are available for your telescopic monorails manufacturing. 

•  IPE steel rails available on different finishing variants such as a specific paint with or without metallization or galvanization process choice

• 304 or 316L stainless steel rail made of reconstituted profile. This type of stainless steel rail is delivered stripped + passivation processed. We can make a microbead-blasting finish for monorails intended for the space sector or food industry entreprise.

Attachment systems for telescopic monorail

Many solutions are available for fixing the supporting monorail beam:

• ADEI hangers
• Jack stands or pillars
• I-beam wall bracket
• Flat-welded attachments
• Halfen rail
• Special ceiling or wall mountings

Telescopic monorail hoist

All monorails can be equipped with manual, electric or air hoist trolley in standard version or corrosion-proof version specially designed for moist areas, clean rooms or ATEX zones (according to regulations). 

Telescopic monorails inbedded in a lifting structure
