Crane Rail Fixing Clips

A crane rail clip is a metal component used to secure a crane rail to a supporting structure, such as a soleplate. These clips prevent the rail from shifting or moving during crane operation by holding it firmly in place while also supporting the load, resisting impact, and allowing for thermal expansion. They are available in both welded and bolted versions to suit different installation methods and are selected based on the specific rail profile, wheel loads, and environmental conditions.

Securing the rail: Prevents lateral movement of the rail and maintains its position under the forces exerted by a moving crane.

Load distribution: Helps disperse the wheel load from the crane onto the supporting structure, reducing wear on both the rail and the foundation.

Impact absorption: Absorbs energy from vertical and lateral impacts, increasing stability and reducing damage to the track.

Accommodating thermal expansion: Many designs include elastic or flexible elements to allow for the natural expansion and contraction of the rail due to temperature changes.

Welded-base rail fixing clips

• Advantages: perfect for high load carrying capacity;suited for heavy industries.

Through-bolted( Bolted rail fixing clips)

• Advantages: no need to weld; easier and quicker for installation;a more economical solution.

• Find or estimate the horizontal force (sideload) to be carried by the clip. It is assumed that all the load from one wheel will occur at one clip. To estimate the load, it may be assumed to be 15% of the vertical wheel load. Load per wheel: 294.3kN x 0.15 = 44.15kN.

• Choose the style of clip you require – bolted or welded.

• Find the dimensions of the foot of the rail to be used. See Crane Rails.

• Check that the selected clip will fit the installation.

For the export packaging and shipment of railway fasteners, it is essential to select the appropriate packaging type based on the product category, such as bolts, nuts, or rail clips. GNEE RAIL typically uses high-strength corrugated cartons, plywood boxes, or metal pallets that have undergone anti-rust treatment. Inside the packaging, bubble wrap, pearl cotton, or moisture-proof paper is used for separation and cushioning to prevent collision and abrasion during transportation. The outer packaging is clearly labeled with product specifications, quantity, weight, destination, and warning signs such as "Moisture-Proof" and "Fragile," ensuring safe and reliable delivery to global clients.
