Monorail systems in the field of material handling consist basically of underhung single rail tracks installed to support hand propelled or electric motor driven carriers.  These carriers in turn lift and lower the desired load and transport it from one point to another along a fixed travel path.

Patented track for monorail systems can be hung in virtually any straight or curved path route desired within the limits of obstructions in the building.

Monorail layouts can be changed or expanded with relative ease as a plant grows or manufacturing operations change.  Systems can be designed so loads can be temporarily stored on tracks without rehandling by means of switches and multiple spur tracks.  In addition, individual carriers can be stored on lift track sections for future transfer to tracks at different elevations.  Monorail systems can also be tied into patented track underhung cranes utilizing interlocks and discharge points.
