Overhead Monorail (HTS)

Overhead Monorail (HTS)​ ​​| Wheelabrator

The HTS Overhead Monorailis a powerful and versatile blast cleaning system designed for foundries and forges handling medium to heavy-duty components.Engineered for flexibility and durability, it supports both reversible and through-feed operation, with multiple blast wheel configurations and customisablemonorail layouts.

The HTS system delivers outstanding performance insand removal,decoring, descaling, and surface preparation, while optimised transport and blasting systemsensure full surface coverage and minimal handling. With a robust manganese-steel construction and CE-certified safety standards, the HTS is built for long-term reliability in demanding environments.
