Stop pin
Monorail
(optional)
Using the same support structure as the weather protection system, the monorail system
allows loads of up to 1000 lb (454 kg) to be moved safely along the installation. The monorail
system can be used on setups with a maximum planking confi guration of three planks wide.
The weight of the monorail structure and its accessories must be deducted from the load
capacities of the setup. Refer to p. 14 of the
Motorized Unit
section for the weight of
the monorail structure and its accessories. Refer also to the
Load Capacities
section on
p. 94 to avoid overloading the platform.
Installation
1-
To install the monorail support structure, follow steps 1 through 5 of the installation
instructions for the weather protection structure, on p. 123 of this section.
2-
Insert the connecting tube of the frame extension in the bottom tube of the top part of
the support structure. Secure in place with a bolt assembly.
3-
Loosen all four bolts on a monorail bracket (fi g. 8.54) to release the attachment plates
on the bottom. Bolt the monorail bracket to the frame extension installed in step 2.
4-
Repeat steps 2 and 3 for each monorail beam attachment assembly required by the
installation (combination of a frame extension and a monorail bracket).
5-
Once all monorail beam attachments are secure, slide the top of monorail beams
between the attachment plates on the monorail brackets, using monorail beam plates
to join beams together.
6-
Secure the monorail beams in place by tightening the four bolts holding the attachment
plates on each of the monorail brackets.
7-
Make sure that the monorail beam does not overhang by more than 1' (0,3 m), as
shown in fi g. 8.60.
8-
Remove the stop pin and slide the trolley on the monorail beam. Replace the stop pin.

Safety guidelines
1-
The use of a monorail is not allowed on a freestanding installation.
2-
It is also important to consider that the combined use of equipment and accessories may
not be allowed on a same installation. For more information about the combined use
of equipment and accessories in an installation, refer to the tables for the combinations
allowed or restricted in linked and unlinked confi gurations on p. 17 and p. 18 of
the
Motorized Unit
section.
3-
An installation requiring the use of a monorail must be tied to the face of the work. In
addition, tie levels must be
installed all the way to the top of the installation before
the start of any work
. Traveling above the last tie point is not allowed in an installation
equipped with a monorail.
4-
Refer to p. 90 of the
Mast and Mast Ties
section for more information about wind speeds
and to p. 87 for the appropriate schedule of installation of tie levels for a setup equipped
with a monorail.
