When it comes to modern architecture, building designs are becoming increasingly complex. Curved facades, irregular shapes, and innovative glass structures demand smarter access solutions. Monorails and Railscaf are flexible and space-saving, providing efficient transport and continuous access for facade maintenance. At Facade Access Solutions, we collaborate with our engineers to design and deliver custom Railscaf, hoist systems, and monorail solutions for both interior and exterior applications.
Each system is engineered to meet OSHA regulations and North American building code requirements, giving building owners, facility managers, and architects the confidence that safety and performance will never be compromised. Discover how we can transform your building—let’s start planning today.
Traditional facade access solutions like davits or Building Maintenance Units (BMUs) and suspended monorails don’t always suit every project. Irregular building profiles, curved glass walls, or narrow rooftop spaces can make conventional systems. This is where hoist and innovative monorail systems excel. Their ability to provide continuous horizontal movement across complex building surfaces makes them invaluable for safe and efficient facade access. Whether it’s window cleaning, inspections, or general maintenance, monorails provide efficient transportation and ensure no corner of your building is left unreachable.
One of the key benefits of monorail systems is their minimal footprint. Designed to fit seamlessly into building architecture, they can be installed in tight spaces or along intricate facade lines without disrupting the building’s aesthetics, often starting from the ground. For developers and architects, this adaptability means monorails can be integrated during new construction or retrofitted into existing structures.

Adaptability is at the heart of every monorail system we deliver. From high-rise office towers with flowing glass exteriors to cultural centers with bold architectural features, our monorail tracks follow the unique lines of your building.
Every rail system we design ensures smooth operation and is OSHA-compliant, meeting North American building code requirements for safety and performance.
Whether you’re designing a landmark skyscraper or upgrading an older property, monorails can be tailored to your needs, ensuring a sustainable future. For new construction, monorails are incorporated during the planning and construction stages to ensure seamless integration. For retrofits, our engineering team develops solutions that adapt to existing structures, providing improved access without compromising building integrity.
Monorails aren’t standalone solutions—they’re part of a bigger access ecosystem. When combined with BMUs, davits, or rope access points, they create a comprehensive facade access plan that ensures every area of the building is serviceable. This integration maximizes both efficiency and safety while minimizing downtime for building operations. Create a complete access ecosystem—ask us how.

A monorail system is a guideway, suspended track installed on a building’s facade, roof, or ceiling. It provides safe and continuous movement for maintenance personnel and equipment, adapting to complex architectural designs.
They suspend a cradle or trolley that moves horizontally along the track. This platform allows workers to safely perform window cleaning, inspections, and facade upkeep—even on irregular building shapes.
We offer custom solutions for both interior and exterior use, designed to match curved facades, recessed areas, or ceiling-mounted access points, including specialized trolley solution, such as intamin monorail .
Load capacity varies by design, but all systems are engineered for compliance with North American safety standards. Detailed specifications are available in our downloadable technical resources.
Yes. Every system is fully OSHA-compliant and built to meet North American building code requirements, ensuring that we adhere to the first phase of safety guideline . Safety is always our top priority.
We know architects and engineers need reliable data when designing with monorails in mind. That’s why Facade Access Solutions NAM provides full technical support resources, including:
Our resources ensure every detail—from weight distribution to mounting methods—meets both design vision and safety regulations. Download detailed specs and BIM files to accelerate your project.
Installing a monorail system involves much more than attaching tracks. At Facade Access Solutions NAM, we provide end-to-end project support that covers installation from the ground up:
