Standard Monorail Hoist

Standard monorail hoist operates directly beneath the runway beam. The load and hoist weight are evenly balanced, eliminating the need for a counterweight and making this type of hoist lighter than a low headroom model.

Our standard monorail hoists feature advanced rope guide systems, high-efficiency motors, and robust gearboxes built to withstand continuous operation in demanding industrial environments. Available in capacities from 1.6 to 20 tons with lifting heights up to 12 meters.

Low Headroom Monorail Hoist

A low headroom hoist is the ideal solution for buildings with limited height. It maximizes space efficiency by allowing the hook to reach almost directly beneath the beam. Compared to a standard hoist, this design optimizes building height without compromising performance.

The offset drum design and compact configuration make these hoists perfect for retrofitting existing facilities or new constructions where ceiling height is at a premium. Available in capacities from 1.6 to 10 tons.
