Monorail systems can be divided in semi-heavy and heavy types.
The semi-heavy types are built up from standard components. Extension components improve the possibilities of application. Decentralised and centralised control are possible, as well as trolleys with own intelligence.
Semi-heavy monorail systems are applied for production and sorting tasks. Heavy monorail-systeras are applied for different tasks.
