Custom Monorails

by Designed Equipment

Every monorail system DEC designs and builds is unique. We use standardized parts all manufactured in our Elk Grove Village facility to meet the requirements of your project. We can devise a system that works for your job, from folding in multiple curtain wall panels to setting panels 1,000 feet in the air.

The DEC mono-rail system was developed over twenty years ago to provide a safe way of moving material parallel to the building façade. Since the original implementation, DEC has installed several thousand linear feet of mono-rail for hundreds of contractors to accomplish scopes from curtain wall installation to moving roofing material. Each mono-rail system is custom to meet our customers’ needs.
