Monorail Systems

When a rooftop can’t support davits or outriggers, monorail systems offer a flexible solution for façade access. These track-mounted systems allow suspended platforms to move smoothly along the face of a building—even around curves or unique architectural features.

What They Are

Monorail systems consist of a permanently installed track—mounted overhead, along parapets, or under soffits—designed to carry suspended access equipment such as powered platforms or swing stages.

Where They’re Used

  • Buildings with recessed or curved façades
  • Structures with limited rooftop space
  • Facilities requiring frequent glass cleaning or inspections
  • Architectural projects with unique or complex exteriors

Advantages

Compliance

Monorail tracks must be designed, installed, and load tested to meet Cal/OSHA and ANSI standards. These requirements ensure all suspended access systems perform safely under working loads.
