Retractable Rail Clamp (electric or hydraulic)
Rail Clamps are Storm Brakes which are designed to apply (bite) on both sides of a rail. They are designed as a fail-safe brake and are spring set and hydraulically OR electrically released.
Benefits
Application
Benefits
- Rail Clamp jaws fully released and retracted above the rail means that there are no mechanical guiding means at rail level at any speed which is a paramount for high speed, modern cranes.
- Serrated shoes are fully protected from hitting the sides of the rails contributes to less wear and tear.
- A mechanism is compensating for a potential spring force loss due to rail width variation, shoe wear or mechanism out of adjustment.
Application
Rail Clamps are vital for outdoor cranes, including Ship to Shore cranes, Automated Stacking Crane, Rail Mounted Gantry cranes, Shiploaders and other Rail mounted material handling equipment.
