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.

Traditional facade access systems like Davits, or BMUs, may not always suit today’s designs. Irregular building shapes, curved glass walls, or limited rooftop space often require more adaptable solutions.
That’s where monorail systems excel. Their ability to move horizontally along intricate surfaces makes them indispensable for safe, efficient, and continuous access. Whether it’s window cleaning, inspections, or maintenance, monorails ensure no section of your building remains unreachable.
One of the greatest advantages of monorail systems is their compact, space-saving design. Engineered to blend seamlessly with architectural elements, they can be installed along tight facade lines or within confined areas—without compromising the building’s aesthetics.
For architects and developers, this adaptability means monorails can be integrated during new construction or retrofitted into existing structures. See how much space you can save and achieve efficient access—book a consultation with our design team today.
Every building is unique, and so are our solutions. From high-rise towers with flowing glass exteriors to cultural landmarks with bold architectural features, our monorail tracks are designed to follow the distinct contours of each structure.
Each system is engineered for smooth operation and compliance with international safety and performance standards.
Whether you are developing a new landmark or upgrading an existing property, our monorail systems are tailored to your specific requirements. They support sustainable design goals and can be incorporated at any project stage,either as part of the construction process or as a retrofit solution that enhances access without compromising the structure.
Monorails also form part of a comprehensive access ecosystem. When combined with BMUs, davits, or rope access points, they create a full-coverage strategy that ensures every facade area is serviceable. This integrated approach improves safety, maximizes uptime, and enhances operational efficiency. Ask our experts how to build your complete access system.

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.
