RailmasterTM Monorail Systems

Monotractors

Monotractor transporters will tow heavy loads under power, with perfect control, along runways and through monorail switches and bends of minimum radius.

Equipped with a solid rubber-tyred drive wheel they guarantee fast, smooth, quiet operation. In addition, track wear is practically eliminated and the compact design enables maximum tractive effort to be achieved from a relatively small motor.

Power feed collectors are attached to the Monotractors trolley yokes and are in spring loaded contact with the bus bar system. It is an independent power feed arrangement ensuring positive power pick-up at all times.

RV101

This range of tractors caters for the twospeed travel demands of heavy loads on push button controls or under automatic transfer operations. Maximum live load capacities are 11,200 lb (5,080 kg).
RV104

This is a general Purpose tractor range with a maximum live load capacity of 4,480 lb (2,036 kg).

It is designed specifically to power travel loads with perfect control at all times.
RV105

This range has been developed for automatic travel installations where the horsepower and motor frame size determines a modified design. It is ideal for particularly arduous site conditions and its driving characteristics permit its use on inclined tracks.



The Monotractor can be utilized as an independent drive for hoist or skip transportation. The unit can also form an integral part of any specially designed transporter assembly.

The arrangement provides for smooth, gradual acceleration when traveling under load on either manual or automatic control.

When operated manually, push button controls for all motions are combined in one pendant box suspended from the Monotractor and enable the operator to remain clear of the load while effecting accurate spotting of the load.


Applications requiring greater clearances, such as handling steel sections into and out of racking, can be accommodated by fitting a swivel assembly. This arrangement, mounted on the Monotractor extends the controls further from the load and provides the added flexibility of 90º rotation at each side of the track centre line.

On automatic systems the heavy localized wear which can occur due to continuous starting and stopping at pre-programmed points is avoided since tractive effort is applied through the rubber tire drive to the underside of the track.
