Hoist UK has installed two EUROSYSTEM STD steel monorail systems at a customer’s site.
The monorail tracks were mounted to the client’s pre-existing steelwork structure, with all design specifications and imposed loadings approved prior to manufacture.
The systems, each comprising a straight EUROSYSTEM STD steel monorail track, have a rated lifting capacity of 500kg and are 5m long.
Both installations use integral push travel trolleys and are equipped with a Verlinde Eurochain VX electric chain hoist, supporting dual hoisting speeds of 4m/min and 1m/min.
The tracks are secured using I-beam suspension brackets.
Drawings and load assessments were provided to the customer in advance and reviewed before the systems went into production, in line with project procedures.
The EUROSYSTEM STD is an overhead handling system constructed from cold-formed, high-strength hollow steel profile, which features a closed structure to help keep the interior of the runway clean.
According to supplied specifications, the EUROSYSTEM STD is designed to facilitate smooth movement of loads while maintaining flexibility and enabling installation within modular workstation lifting environments.
The company notes that its pendular design aims to reduce loads on the supporting structure, while still supporting rolling performance and headroom.
Hoist UK, established in 2006 by Tony Dickson and Paul Jordan, originally operated as a distributor for the French lifting equipment brand Verlinde.
Since its inception, the company has expanded its activities to include the design, manufacture, and installation of lifting and handling equipment.
Its product portfolio includes overhead crane systems, electric chain hoists, winches, shackles, and related equipment, with applications across both industrial and entertainment sectors.
Last month, Hoist UK completed the installation of two single-girder overhead cranes, each rated for a 1.25t lifting capacity, at a client’s facility.
The project involved providing freestanding gantry steelwork, enabling both cranes to function within a shared operational bay.
