The Requirement:

  • Our customer requires an overhead lifting system to load and unload mandrels into the Tube and Core manufacturing machines and installed with minimal disruption to their operation.

The Challenge:

  • The production machinery, supporting tables and decoilers had already been in place for many years so it was necessary to work around these obstacles to ensure a new overhead monorail could be installed directly above the centreline of the machinery.
  • Our designs team had to plan working around this existing machinery whilst in some cases the production line was still operating.
  • Also the shape of the building had to be taken into account to ascertain the best position to place the supporting legs and how they could be anchored.

The Solution:

  • Our client required an overhead monorail crane system to facilitate the safe and easy maintenance of its machinery, which operated up to 12 hours a day within their processing plant. The system was designed to include electric chain hoists and trolleys.
  • The design would need to take into consideration the low roof height and the existing portal structure. To mitigate the machinery obstructions, pipework and electrical cabling, the design team proposed a supporting structure comprising of two separate post structures to support the track system.
  • The supporting structure and monorail track was painted with an impact resistant powder coating to cope with the demanding elements.
