Self Adjusting Rail Brakes (electric or hydraulic)
These Self Adjusting Rail Brakes were developed specifically to address problems with vertical fluctuations of the crane rail. This new rail brake allows large rail deviation while providing uniform capacity over the full range of movement. It compensates for up to 38 mm rail deviations with full rated capacity.
