GPI electrified monorail system 240

Powerful electric monorail system for demanding industrial applications up to 8,000 kg

GPI electrified monorail system 240

The GPI electrified monorail system 240 is the versatile standard electrified monorail system for medium and heavy loads.

It is recommended wherever the System 180 reaches its load capacity reserves, but the expense of a special heavy-duty system is not justified: in the connection of medium-sized production and assembly lines, in the transport of goods for efficient storage and retrieval, in the order picking of medium-weight goods and in mechanical and plant engineering, where load capacity reserves are required but extreme payloads are not necessary.

Special features

  • Generous load capacity reserves up to 8,000 kg for a wide range of industrial transport goods

  • Proven extruded aluminium profile in robust 240 mm design for permanently precise running

  • Economical standard construction with short delivery times and manageable installation costs

  • State-of-the-art production technology with a weld ratio of less than 10 % - over 90 % laser-cut parts for maximum dimensional accuracy and dimensional stability

  • Flexible routing Can be realised in almost any floor plan

  • Optional conductor rail or inductive Energy and data transmission depending on requirements

  • Customised load handling attachments Lightweight design for maximum payload utilisation

  • Made in Germany - Quality you can rely on
