MilkyWay Handbook • Version 3 - 20140616  © Handicare AB

4: Rail systems with full room coverage - (x-y)/traverse systems  /  27

Examples A and B show applications with Rail 64. If a longer free span is required, the more rigid Rail 120 can be 
used. Rail 120 or Rail 160 are most often used for cross-rails in rail systems with full room coverage.

C: 
Rail 120, cross-rail 
mounted under the 
trolley.

NB!
Remember lamps, ventilation holes, air gratings and the like when planning a ceiling lift system.
