TERMINOLOGY FOR OVERHEAD ALUMINIUM CRANE SYSTEMS Aluminium crane systems...

Mechrail™ aluminium crane system Mechrail™ is a modular lightweight overhead crane system of light aluminium profiles for manual or powered handling of goods, designed to be used together with a number of different lifting devices. The lightweight overhead crane system is designed to be attached to a ceiling-mounted beam structure or a floor-mounted supporting structure. The system must be dimensioned for the forces acting on it when in operation, and this must be verified before commissioning the overhead crane system. Because of the hanging design, most configurations will only have...

6 \ Mechrail Catalogue 2021-03-11 EN \ About lightweight overhead crane systems A single runway is used in applications that only require movement in one direction.

Example 2: Single bridge Twin runway - flexible suspension Single bridge - flexible suspension Media supply - cable trolleys Section catalogue page Profile, runway Bridge suspension Crane girder suspension (A) Profile, bridge Media supply Cable trolley Connecting unit Twin runway with single bridge suspended in a crane girder suspension (A) is the most common way to configure a rail system when using non-torque absorbing lifters.

8 \ Mechrail Catalogue 2021-03-11 EN \ About lightweight overhead crane systems Suspension (C) Long is used when the overhead beams are higher up than necessary, and the crane system needs to be hanging low. Triangular bracing provides a rigid mounting that only allows movement in the direction of the runway profile.

A space saving module in the bridge minimizes the total height of the crane system and is used in buildings with low ceiling height.

SYSTEM DESIGN System design – EConfig Rated capacity Marking with the maximum permitted load The Mechrail aluminium lightweight overhead crane system is a modern and modular system for loads up to 1000 kg. The rated capacity is the maximum load that the runway system is designed to carry in a certain configuration and in normal operation. The load includes the weight of the lifting equipment and the gripping tools, the weight of the lifted item, and dynamic forces arising from the operations. The crane system has a modular design and may be equipped with various types of lifting equipment....
