As modern architecture evolves, buildings are becoming more complex than ever. Curved facades, unique geometries, and bold glass designs demand innovative access technologies. Monorails and Railscaf systems provide flexible, space-efficient solutions for continuous movement and safe facade maintenance.
At Facade Access Solutions, we partner with expert engineers to design and deliver custom Railscaf, hoist, and monorail systems for both interior and exterior applications. Every solution is built to meet international safety standards, giving building owners, facility managers, and architects complete confidence in long-term reliability and performance.
Monorail systems provide a reliable solution for accessing complex building facades. Designed to handle curves, recesses, and modern architectural features, they ensure safe and efficient cleaning, inspections, and repairs. These facade access systems are engineered to provide seamless movement across the buidling’s exterior.
Monorails allow horizontal and vertical movement where traditional BMUs or davits cannot. These systems are ideal for reaching hard-to-access areas without compromising safety or the building’s design. For specific architectural challenges, a rope access monorail offers a versatile alternative for technicians.
Our systems are designed to integrate with any structure. Tracks follow tight facades or hidden areas, optimising rooftop space and operational efficiency for both new builds and retrofits. This makes them an essential component of modern suspended access equipment.
Facade Access Solutions EMEAI tailors monorail systems to your building’s unique shape. Systems can curve with rounded surfaces, extend into atria, and cover recesses, all while meeting strict international safety standards.
Monorails can be combined with BMUs, or davits to ensure every part of your building is safely accessible. This integrated approach improves safety, reduces downtime, and maximises maintenance efficiency.

Facade Access Solutions brings together the Tractel, Manntech, and CoxGomyl brands under one umbrella. Our EMEAI team supports architects, developers, and facility managers with high-performance access systems tailored to each project.
A monorail system is a guideway or track installed on a building’s facade, roof, or ceiling that supports continuous movement for maintenance teams and equipment. It adapts to almost every architectural form to ensure safe and efficient access.
They support a cradle or platform that moves horizontally along the track, allowing workers to perform window cleaning, facade inspections, and repairs safely—even on irregular or curved surfaces.
We provide custom-engineered monorail solutions for interior and exterior use, including systems that fit curved facades, recessed sections, and ceiling-mounted access points.
Load capacities vary depending on the system design. All solutions are engineered for compliance with international safety regulations and tested to meet global performance standards. Detailed technical data is available in our downloadable resources.
Yes. Every monorail system is fully compliant with global building codes and safety standards, ensuring maximum protection for workers and building assets.
We provide BIM files, CAD assets, load charts, track schematics, and compliance documents. These resources ensure every monorail system is precisely engineered for safety and performance.
Our team deliver full consultation, engineering, professional installation, and training, ensuring your monorail system is installed safely and operates efficiently.
We offer maintenance plans to maintain system reliability and minimise risk. Regular inspections, preventive servicing, and lifecycle management guarantee secure and continuous operation.
