Mechrail product catalogue 2021
The Mechrail™ aluminium crane system is a modular and lightweight overhead crane system designed for ergonomic and flexible movement. It is suitable for both manual and powered handling of goods and can be attached to ceiling-mounted or floor-mounted structures. The system is designed to handle forces during operation, with most configurations experiencing downward forces, except when torque-absorbing devices are used.
The system includes various components such as crane bridges, runways, suspensions, and lifting equipment. It is essential to use authentic components supplied or approved by Movomech to ensure safety and maintain warranty. The system is designed according to European Norms and Regulations, with safety precautions outlined in the documentation.
The Mechrail range includes anodized aluminium profiles, galvanizing or anodizing coated components for durability, and various accessories like trolleys, end stops, and joint sets. The system is designed for indoor use in industrial environments with a temperature range of +5 to +40 °C and a noise level below 70dB (A).
Installation requires skilled personnel and adherence to safety instructions. Preventive maintenance involves regular checks of screw joints and safety equipment, with intervals depending on system usage but at least annually.
Several configuration examples are provided, including single runway, single bridge, long suspensions with triangular bracing, and twin bridge setups. Each configuration is tailored for specific applications, such as minimizing system height in low-ceiling buildings or using torque-absorbing lifters.
The system supports various media supply options like cable trolleys, spiral hoses, and cable chains. Additional features include space-saving modules and rigid suspensions for specific configurations.
The Mechrail system is designed for loads up to 1000 kg. It features modular components that can be configured using the EConfig tool. The system's rated capacity includes the weight of lifting equipment, gripping tools, and dynamic forces. Markings indicate the maximum permitted load for each component.
Proper system design is crucial, with emphasis on understanding load capacities and ensuring correct installation. The document provides guidelines for ceiling-mounted structures, including tolerance requirements for horizontal levels and installation dimensions. It also covers the use of safety wires for securing components.
The document provides detailed examples of different crane configurations, such as triple runway systems, single bridges with overhangs, and telescoping bridges. Each example lists components, their types, and relevant catalogue pages.
Load charts illustrate the maximum suspension spacing for various loads, with permitted deflections for different dynamic forces. These charts help in determining the appropriate setup for specific lifting applications.
The document classifies operations based on fatigue strength and provides reduction factors for calculating the permitted capacity of trolleys and suspension components.
Detailed specifications for crane system profiles are provided, including dimensions, weight, and structural properties. The document also includes information on curved sections and other component types.
1. Various connection units are specified with different types and protection ratings, such as IP66 and IP54. The units include models like AHB3, LHB, and PHB1, each with specific attributes like maximum current capacity (10 A) and weight.
2. Connection units are designed for specific cable sizes and types, with threaded couplings for both round and flat cables.
1. Electrical work must be performed by a trained electrician, emphasizing safety and compliance with standards.
2. Connection units must be used at the power supply end of the track system and for each bridge when using electric equipment.
1. The document specifies the use of connection units (A) and (D) for different applications, such as power supply and limit switches.
2. The document highlights the importance of using the correct threaded couplings and terminal blocks for specific cable sizes.
1. The document repeatedly stresses that only trained electricians should perform electrical work.
2. The connection units have specific requirements for cable sizes and types, which must be adhered to for proper installation and operation.
1. The document is part of the Mechrail Catalogue dated 2021-03-11, provided by Movomech AB, a company specializing in lifting solutions.

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 downward-going...
