As modern architecture evolves, modern buildings across the UK, Dubai, and the wider EMEAI region 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 monorail system is engineered to meet international safety standards including EN 1808 and UK height regulations, giving building owners, facility managers, and architects complete confidence in long-term reliability and performance.
Monorail systems provide a reliable solution for accessing complex facades. Designed to handle curves, recesses, and modern architectural features, they support safe and efficient cleaning, inspections, and repairs. These facade access systems are engineered to provide seamless movement across the building’s exterior.
Monorails allow horizontal and vertical movement where traditional BMUs or davits cannot. These access 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 cost effective alternative for technicians.
Our monorail solutions are designed to integrate with any building shape. The aluminium track follows tight facades or hidden areas, optimizing limited roof 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 designs monorail systems to suit your building’s unique shape. The monorail track can curve with rounded surfaces, extend into atria, and cover recesses. Each system meets strict international safety standards and UK regulations.
Monorails combine with building maintenance units or davits so every part of your building is safely accessible. This integrated approach improves safety, reduces downtime, and maximizes maintenance efficiency.
We deliver trusted global expertise alongside local support. Our regional teams cover the United Kingdom and the UAE, with on-the-ground capability across Dubai, the wider Middle East, Africa and India. 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 designed for 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 lifting equipment. It adapts to almost every architectural form to provide safe and efficient access.
They support a monorail cradle or suspended platform that moves along the monorail track. Workers can perform window cleaning, facade inspections, and repairs safely on irregular or curved surfaces.
We provide a comprehensive range of custom-engineered monorail solutions for interior and exterior use. Options include single rail systems for curved facades, recessed sections, and ceiling-mounted access points.
Load capacities vary depending on the system design. All monorail solutions are engineered for compliance with international safety regulations and undergo thorough testing to meet global performance standards. Detailed technical data including bracket spacing and full load specifications is available in our downloadable resources.
Yes. Every monorail system meets UK regulations including LOLER 1998 and the Working at Height Regulations 2005. In Dubai and across the UAE, our systems align with Dubai Municipality requirements and EN 1808 for suspended access equipment. Visit our codes, regulations and standards page for full compliance details.
We provide BIM files, CAD assets, and load charts for engineering teams. Track schematics and compliance documents support every monorail system delivered across the UK, UAE and wider EMEAI region.
Our team delivers full consultation, engineering, and professional installation. We also provide expert training so your monorail system operates safely and efficiently from day one.
We offer long-term service maintenance plans to maintain system reliability and minimize risk. Regular inspections, preventive servicing, and lifecycle management support safe operation across the full life of your monorail system.
