Trestle Monorail
Designed for use on a flat rooftop or between floors of a building, this heavy-duty
system accepts all Beta Max portable hoists
except the Beta Lite model. The
system consists of a monorail Trac, uprights, braces, brackets, mounting pins and
keepers, and a 3.5-foot (1.1-meter) cantilever. The Trestle Monorail must be
anchored in one of the following four ways for safe hoist operation: trestle ceiling
brace, floor tie-down clamps, ballast containers, or counterweight clamps.
(See
next section for details.)
WARNING
Trestle Monorail systems require the use of tie-back ropes in addition to the anchoring method
chosen to secure the structure. Anchoring of the Trestle monorail without using tie-back ropes is
not acceptable. Beta Max, Inc. will not be held responsible for injury resulting from the operator/
end user not following this warning.
