<p>A lightweight, remote-controlled, self-propelled equipment support and transport system (1) is stabilized against unwanted angular deviation in each of three perpendicular axes and adapted for motion at high speed along a simple tubular monorail (5). The system (1) can be quickly and efficiently ground-mounted on stands (6), suspended horizontally from brackets or from a variety of overhead supports (71), or vertically mounted alongside a mast or wall (76). The system includes a car (15) running on and partly surrounding a rail (5), and an equipment support (16) associated with the car (15) and configurated so that the supported equipment (56) is transversely and longitudinally spaced and balanced about a point just below the center of the rail (5). The equipment support (16) is mounted in angular isolation relative to the car (15) by a system of damped pivots about pitch and yaw axes. The car (15) includes a steering adjustment adapted to counteract slight variations in wheel alignment that might tend to drive the car (15) off-level when in motion along the rail (5).</p> |
