GENERALThe RAILSCAF is a building maintenance systemcomprising a monorail fixed around the perimeter of abuilding or structure. A traversing trolley, from whichmay be suspended a SOLO cradle or a SOLSIT poweredseat, travels along the monorail to reach the variousparts of the building.*The height of lift is limited to 40 m.The maximum suspended load on each lifting point is350 kg.The trolley travels horizontally and is manually or powertraversed.*This system may also be used to suspend a 2 m or 3 mplatform from 2 traversing trolleys. However, for such anapplication great care should be exercised and it isstrongly recommended to consult us with particularregard to the maximum allowable distances betweensupport brackets. It is also essential to ensure that thetraversing around the bends can be done with theplatform on the ground.3. PROTECTION3.1. Anodisation gives protection against corrosion bydepositing a layer of aluminium oxide.We recommend 2 thicknesses of protection:– Class 20, 20 µ m. thickness– Class 25, 25 µ m. thicknessThe colours available are:– Natural aluminium – Light beige Eurocolor 2005– Gold – Dark beige Eurocolor 2006– Chestnut Eurocolor 2007– Black Eurocolor 20083.2. Electro-static paintingThe paint adhers well to the aluminium rail.The colours available are in the RAL range, mat or gloss(sample on request).4. SITE INSTALLATIONThe rails are delivered to site in lengths of 5.8 m. Eachrail weighs ±35 kg.The minimum radius of the curves is 500 mm, and ismade in the factory before despatch.The rails are fixed to the brackets with hammerheadM12 hot galvanised 8.8 steel bolts.2.

TRAVERSING TROLLEYThe traversing trolley is designed for a solo cradle or SOLSIT powered seat, on a single suspension system, topass around the corners of buildings. On straight parts 2 m or 3 m platforms may be used on two suspension points.The trolley comprises 2 travelling rollers and 1 guide roller, fitting around the rail. The rollers have a polyurethanetread to prevent wear to the rail.The casing of the trolley is in stainless steel.The trolley is either manually or power traversed.8.1. Manual traversing trolley by endless rope (Fig. 5)Generally, a manual traversing trolley is sufficient, since the effort required to traverse the trolley is low.Weight: 18 kg.
