Rail Support
Crane rails are generally not laid directly on concrete floors. This is because the concrete cannot support the rail very well, so it is necessary to lay the steel soleplates as the direct bearing surface of the rail. Some rails can be laid directly on H-beam or channel steel. We call it rail support.
|CONTINUOUS STEEL SOLEPLATES
Continuous soleplates serve as the foundation for supporting heavy-duty lifting rails, secured by either bolted rail clamps or welded rail clamps. In practical applications, welded rail clips paired with continuous steel soleplates are predominantly used for heavy crane installations. The steel plates employed are carbon steel sheets with a thickness exceeding 20MM, ensuring robust load-bearing capacity.
For optimal performance, the baseplates of rail clips should be welded to the steel soleplates prior to galvanization. This sequence ensures a seamless welding interface while enhancing corrosion resistance through the galvanization process. The soleplates are designed with pre-drilled fixed threaded holes and leveling bolt holes, facilitating secure connection and precise leveling with the on-site concrete foundation. This configuration ensures stable rail alignment and long-term durability in heavy-load crane operations.
|INDIVIDUAL STEEL SOLEPLATES
Gldiamond has an independent rail support processing workshop. The raw materials are uniformly purchased with high-quality plates, and laser cutting and drilling are used to ensure the accurate size of the soleplates. For the welded rail clips solution, we can directly weld the clip base plate on the steel soleplates can galvanize the whole, and paint it for corrosion protection according to the needs of customers. In this way, the customer only needs to transport the processed steel support plate to the construction site for laying.
