A crane rail clip is a crucial component used to secure rails in a track system. Over the years, various rail fastening methods have been developed, including elastic rail fastenings for train tracks, rail spikes, pressure plates, hook bolts, and welding for crane tracks.
Among these, flexible connection rail clips have become the preferred choice due to their superior adjustability, vibration reduction, and stability in rail installations. These clips ensure secure rail positioning while accommodating minor movements and vibrations, reducing wear on both the rail and crane wheels.
Crane Rail Clips Options
WELDED CRANE RAIL CLIPS
Welded crane rail clips have upper and lower parts, the base plates are used for welding to the track base, bolts are used to connect the clip uppers, and then the upper is pressed against the track by tightening the nut. Rail clamps are divided into single-hole and double-hole types. The double-hole type can have a larger load force and is suitable for heavy equipment.
The welded crane rail clips provided by Prime Track Resources can be processed by galvanizing and anti-corrosion. Usually, the base plate is a self-color. It needs to be welded to the steel backing plate or H-beam, and then the steel backing plate or H-beam should be galvanized or painted as a whole.
BOLTED CRANE RAIL CLIPS
Compared with the welded crane rail clips, the installation of the bolt-type rail clip is more convenient and quicker. Bolted rail clip does not need to weld the base plate. It is directly connected with the bottom soleplate or H-beam by bolts. It is suitable for relatively light rail systems and usually uses 8.8-grade high-strength bolts. For installation, it is mostly used in steel beam structures.
