Electric Suspension Monorails (Overhead Monorails)
Flexible Material Handling with a Clear Floor

Flexible materials handling with a clear floor, in cyclical or flow operation—that is the great strength of the electric suspension monorail, also referred to as overhead monorail. Whether it's distribution logistics in the food, drink and tobacco sector, or production-based solutions in the dairy industry, it's electric suspension monorails that make many solutions possible. Supplying raw materials, linking up production phases using logistics, storing finished products and providing pallets in the dispatch department—these are all tasks that can be handled by a system solution.

In complex solutions, one single vehicle often handles many different tasks. For example, after a vehicle sets down a pallet of finished goods in the dispatch department, it can take raw materials from the warehouse to the production hall on its way back. These redundant material handling systems are also highly tolerant of system failure and faults and, above all, they can respond flexibly to changing load levels. Special applications can also deal with extreme variations in height. For example, raising and lowering operations of up to five meters can be achieved with telescopic devices. The transfer to floor-based conveyor systems can be eliminated, thus saving expensive floor space.
