Chapter 3 - Choice of parts and ordering
Structure of the Molift Rail System (MRS)
When the type of system has been chosen, the details of the system are to be defined. In this chap-
ter we will look at the details of the system and how to choose the right parts.
What makes out a securing point?
A securing point is defined as the connection securing the rail to the ceiling or the wall. In the
planning phase it is important to be able to uncover all aspects relating to the building.
In the most simple cases this may be a screw and in the more complex ones a mixture of different
elements. Below we have made a check list to ensure that all elements required for safe mounting
of the rail system are considered and provided for.
Molift Group AS is only system responsible if the rail system with trolley and/or lifting motor has
been supplied by Molift and is installed by authorised Molift staff.
There must never be more than one lifting motor per rail system. The lifting capacity (Safe Work-
ing Load, SWL) of the lifting motor may never exceed the lifting capacity (SWL) of the rail system.
Only original Molift parts are to be used when mounting Molift Rail System. All available parts
are described in this handbook.
Choosing securing elements for the ceiling
Chapter 2 describes how a survey is required to clarify all assumptions related to a ceiling hoist
system. Based on the information of the inspection table (encl. 1) it is not difficult to find the cor-
rect securing device (screw, stud anchor etc) for the right type of bracket. It can be very helpful to
draw up the systems in as much details as possible.
Number of securing devices and rail type must also be assessed based on the “Table 6. Length of
rail and distance between suspensions” on page 98 and “Table 7. Max free end on rail” on page 99.
All parts to be ordered for a system are ordered via Molift’s own ordering form for Molift Rail Sys-
tem (own Excel chart).
All parts of the MRS are found in this chapter, stating article number, name and with a description.
