User:Hmich176/Universal Mobility, Inc./List of monorail systems

This is a list of monorail systems related to Universal Mobility, Inc. (UMI) and Habegger Engineering Works. All monorails prior to 1968 predate Habegger's relationship with Constam / UMI. These monorail systems were called minirail systems by Habegger, because they were miniature monorail systems that operated in smaller footprints than other monorail systems that operated at the time.

Habegger and Von Roll
Habegger Maschinenfabrik partnered with Von Roll Corporation to construct two minirail systems, in 1964 and 1965. This partnership ended when Habegger went in their own direction, to construct minirail systems in North America.

Habegger and Hawker Siddeley
Habegger reached an agreement with the Canadian branch of British firm Hawker Siddeley to construct a minirail system for Expo 67 in Montreal, Quebec.

Habegger and Constam / Universal Mobility
With growing interest in monorail systems across the United States, Habegger began selling their minirail system in the United States. They reached an agreement with Salt Lake City firm Constam Corporation to manufacture minirail systems in the United States.

Constam Corporation was reorganized into Universal Mobility, Inc. (UMI) in 1969. A brand name for UMI and Habegger was Unimobile / Habegger and the minirail system was named UNIMOBIL, based off the name of the tire system on their trains. Habegger would experience a liquidity crisis in 1980, eventually being sold to Von Roll in 1982. UMI would suffer a similar crisis in the late 1980s, with the remains of the company being purchased by Bombardier subsidiary Transportation Group, Inc. (TGI), of Orlando, Florida, in 1989.

This list is split into the two types of systems UMI used in their history. UMI developed two other systems, UMI Transporter Type II and UM Type III, neither which were sold and manufactured by UMI. After TGI purchased UMI, they produced a few UM Type III systems. They are not included in this list as they were not manufactured by UMI.
