CRANE RAIL PADS, GIRDER TIE-BACK LINKAGESHeavy Duty Rail ApplicationsThe heavy duty pad has been speci˜cally designed for the soft mounting of crane rails. It is manufactured from a synthetic elastomer especially resistant to wear, shear and crushing as well as oil, grease, ozone, and ultraviolet rays. Its upper face is grooved in order to obtain a variable stiffness. This increases the pad's resistance to wear without introducing excessive bending in the rail. It is reinforced with a high strength steel strip and fully vulcanized to the rubber. The reinforcement acts as a diaphragm and gives the pad lateral stiffness, preventing it from de˚ecting under the side thrust of the rail, regardless of wheel load and loss of friction from oil or grease. Edge seals on both the top and bottom surfaces prevent the ingress of dirt and water which can cause premature failure of the pad, rail and support structure.Features include:The discontinuous rail pad is speci˜cally developed to overcome the problems associated with discontinuous rail support. The pad is available to suit all rails and is designed to be used on a steel soleplate with shim packs or grout. eliminate edge load on concrete pedestals and local bearing stress on concrete Discontinuous Rail SupportA common area of failure with active crane runways is the crane girder to building column connection.The Tie-Back System is designed to provide a proven solution to this problem. Some of the most important characteristics are: movement without stressing the tieback linkage. compression. associated maintenance from cracking.Girder Tie-Back Linkage
