Monorail Frame

ABA Structures Pty Ltd specializes in designing innovative and unconventional solutions for various structural needs. In one of our recent projects, we designed a unique frame specifically tailored for installation in our client’s workshop.

Frame Description: The frame incorporates a monorail beam spanning 8 meters, providing support for a Toshiba 3-tonne trolley. To ensure stability and optimal functionality, the beam is supported by a portal frame at one end and an A-Frame at the other end.

Design Compliance: At ABA Structures Pty Ltd, we adhere to the highest standards of safety and compliance. The design of this unconventional frame strictly follows the provisions outlined in the Australian standards AS1418.1 (Cranes, Hoists, and Winches – General Requirements), AS1418.18 (Cranes, Hoists, and Winches – Special Purpose Appliances), and AS4100 (Steel Structures).

Strength and Serviceability: Our design meticulously meets all requirements for strength and serviceability. We ensure that the frame is capable of safely supporting the intended load and performs optimally throughout its service life.

Analysis and Code Compliance: To guarantee the structural integrity and code compliance of the frame, we employ advanced analysis techniques using the SPACE GASS program. This software enables us to thoroughly assess the frame’s behavior and validate its compliance with relevant codes and standards.

Detailed Design and Calculations: For detailed design and calculations, including welds and bolts design, we utilize in-house developed spreadsheets. These tools allow us to accurately determine the required specifications for welds, bolts, and other crucial elements, ensuring the overall robustness and reliability of the frame.

At ABA Structures Pty Ltd, we take pride in our ability to deliver custom-designed solutions that meet our clients’ unique requirements. Our team of experienced engineers and designers work collaboratively to ensure the highest quality and safety standards are met in every project we undertake.
