Monorails are cost efficient production systems that move materials through specific paths in a process line. Above all, they use horizontal and vertical curves. In other words, they allow for elevation changes within the line. Lastly, they are effective in moving the product throughout the facility. HSC is proud to offer the following types of monorail systems:
- Patented track systems
- Custom switched, custom curves, rotators, interlocks, suspension components
- Structural Steel systems
- S beam, W beam switches, curves, interlocks, suspension clamps
- Light rail systems
- Enclosed track – Gorbel -Spanco-Unified Industries- Knight rail
MONORAILS & LEAN MANUFACTURING PRINCIPLES
A monorail system is effective because it moves materials throughout a facility without taking up floor space. Monorails also create less re-handling of equipment, one of the first principles of lean manufacturing. Therefore, they reduce the chances of an accident or injury when lifting or bending to move materials.
