Resilient Pad Mark 2

Gantrail Mark 2 crane rail pads are designed for installations where rails are mounted on individual sole plates. Front and back lips sit over the sole plate to prevent pad displacement. The pad is cut to 5mm less than the width of the rail bottom flange. The pads are made in several sizes so that the total area is chosen to suit the expected wheel load.

Features:

• The Mark 2 pad incorporates a number of proven features. When used in conjunction with Gantrail adjustable rail clips, Mark 2 crane rail pad will significantly reduce stresses in the rail, grout and concrete below the sole plate.
• It allows the rail to rotate small amounts so that it conforms to the crane wheel.
• This gives an even distribution of wheel loads onto the supporting structure.
• Eliminates load concentrations and resultant fatigue stresses in the rail mounting.
• Protects the crane mechanism and increases rail, wheel, bearing and axle life.
• Reduces the wear of rail and support surface by eliminating fretting corrosion.

Together with Gantrail we can supply standard design details and technical information in support of all crane rail applications.
