Patented track rails are engineered specifically for overhead cranes and monorails. [9] [10] Unlike a symmetrical structural rail, the material in a patented track rail is placed where it is most effective allowing for a significant reduction in weight. The rails are engineered to be twice as strong as typical A-36 structural beams and have a ...
