Runway systems are used to extend crane coverage in a work space. A single or multiple-interconnecting runway system allows movement of materials throughout a work site with a single crane/hoist. The runway can be built to any length using support-pylons or ceiling anchors.

Modular runway components are designed for optimal performance and minimal maintenance. Modular runway structures can be easily incorporated or removed from an existing system if the worksite configuration is altered. They also speed the erection and assembly process.

Unlike a monorail, which is designed for linear motion, a runway moves materials anywhere within the three-dimensional space along the dual rails. This allows improved interaction with other material handling equipment and maneuverability through difficult workspace 'terrain'.
