Steel Reinforced Resilient Pad Mark 7

The use of Gantrail Mark 7 Crane Rail Pad between a rail and its support substantially improves the performance of heavy duty crane tracks. Cranes apply very high forces to the structures on which they are mounted. The pad significantly reduces the stress between the rail and its support. The Gantrail pad is one of the three key ingredients in achieving a reliable track. These are:

• Resilient Pad
• Strong, adjustable clips
• Continuously welded rail

Features:

• The Gantrail pad has been designed with a fluted top surface. This results in a two stage stiffness characteristic. On loading, the voids in the top allow the Gantrail clips to pre-compress the pad a small amount. On increasing the wheel loading, the voids are filled and the pad becomes stiffer. This ensures that the rail is not over stressed.
• The pad is reinforced with a steel strip to ensure high lateral stiffness and prevent movement from below the rail.

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