MET-TRACK CRANES - OPTIONS

Options - Profiles

The Met-Track Enclosed Track is the principal element of the handling solutions we offer, it is particularly suited for workstation bridge cranes, jib cranes, monorails and conveyors, but can be utilised for many other applications.

Five standard tracks offer a lifting capacity of up to 2000kg utilising a variety of lifting devices. Available in standard or special finishes, including 3 profiles in stainless steel, the Met-Track system offers the customer the option to customise any installation appearance.
The high strength/low weight factor of the tracks reduce the need for expensive steelwork which in turn simplifies installation and future system modifications.

Options - Curves

A complete range of curves offer ultimate flexibility for any conveyor or monorail system. When planning a system that requires bends we always advise utilising standard radii if possible, however for those applications which dictate special radii, these are also an option.

Options - Support Brackets

A wide range of standard support brackets to suit most building constructions and supporting steelwork is available. In the event of a requirement for special mounting, we have the capability to design special manufactured items completely to customers requirements.
When considering any system and the method of mounting, it is essential that the roof, ceiling or floor structure is of adequate strength for the proposed system. We recommend consultation with a qualified structural consultant to advise in this area.

Options - Suspension Trolleys

A vast selection of two, four and eight wheeled suspension trolleys offer connection to endless possibilities of equipment being transported.
Free running sealed wheels are a standard feature of Met-Track. Special options such as waterproof and high temperature are also available. The design of our profiles protect the wheels and ensure minimum friction for the complete range of our suspensions trolleys.

Options - Turntables

The use of standard turntables and multi-directional units at track joints will add greater flexibility to any monorail or conveyor system. All the Met-Track turntables rotate freely on precision ball bearings and are easily operated and positioned using one of several control mechanism options.
Standard turntables provide interconnection for up to four tracks, however additional connections can be incorporated.
Mechanically operated turntables are recommended for applications where the work flow is moderate and intermittent. For applications requiring continuous flow we recommend the use of our multi-directional units which feature a range of settings according to production requirements.

Options - Switches

Designed to facilitate branching off from the main line conveyor or monorail track. Two types of standard switches are available, the Swivel Switch offers a maintenance free, easy to operate solution. The basic element is a pivoting track section which incorporates a mechanical stop to close off the inoperative track.
The alternative, a Tongue Switch, is a compact design which gives a particular advantage when several branch lines are required in close proximity. The basic element is a tongue guide which is suited to either manual or automatic operation.
Our switches are normally manually operated, however they can be assisted by electric, pneumatic or hydraulic power.

Options - Entry/Exit Sections

This unit operates in a similar way to the swivel switch and facilitates the insertion/removal of trolleys at a required position, ideally suited for a closed loop system where work flow can increase and decrease and suspension trolley quantity needs to be modified.
The basic element is a pivoting track section which incorporates a mechanical stop to close off the open end.

Options - Door Swivel Sections

The door swivel section enables the track to be interrupted automatically by a sliding door for reasons of security or emergency. Typical examples being cold room or fire protection doors.
Safety devices are incorporated to ensure that the trolleys cannot disengage from the track during operation.
