CIRRUS X348
X348 systems are designed around a 3-inch I-Beam track.  The track top to the centre line of the conveyor chain is 5-1/2 inches.  Trolleys are attached at 6, 12, 18, 24, 30 or 36 inch centers.  Each trolley pair can carry a load up to 200 pounds and maximum chain pull capacity is 2000 pounds.  A single drive system can move loads of 50,000 pounds.  Capacity can be increased by using multiple drives.

I-Beam Monorail Conveyors
I-Beam conveyors are the work-horse of overhead conveying systems. These robust systems remain the choice of many Industrial clients to this day. Cirrus stocks a large number of components for I-Beam monorail systems including new or guaranteed reconditioned chain, trolleys and attachments.
