CL4-20 Through-Bolt Crane Rail Clip

The CL4-20, also written CL420, is an M20 through-bolt crane rail clip designed as a bearing-type connection for medium duty crane rail and standard rail installations. It uses a circular cam mechanism to lock the clip body against the rail foot, providing secure lateral restraint while allowing future adjustment or rail replacement.

The M20 bolt gives the CL4-20 higher load capacity than the CL4-16, making it one of the most widely used bolted clip configurations across the full range of A-series crane rail profiles and standard rail. The clip body and cam can be hot-dip galvanized without reducing lateral resistance ratings, making it suitable for outdoor and corrosive environments.

The clip top incorporates a vulcanized synthetic pressure block for rail retention and load absorption. Installation uses a standard M20 hex bolt, nut and hardened washer, and the modular pressure block can be replaced without replacing the entire clip top assembly. Inform Rail holds CL4-20 stock in Brisbane and Cairns for fast dispatch to projects across Australia.

FAQ

CL4-20 Rail Clip, Common Questions

What is the CL4-20 crane rail clip used for?
The CL4-20, also written CL420, is an M20 through-bolt crane rail clip for medium duty crane rail and standard rail installations. It suits the full range of A-series crane rail from A45 to A120 as well as 41kg and 47kg standard rail, making it one of the most widely specified bolted clips for overhead crane runway installations in Australia.
What bolt size does the CL4-20 use?
The CL4-20 uses a standard M20 hex bolt with nut and hardened washer. The M20 bolt gives it higher load capacity than the CL4-16 (M16) and CL3-12 (M12). For applications requiring extended lateral adjustment at the same bolt size, the CLX-20 is available. For heavier duty applications, the CLX-24 (M24) is also available.
What is the difference between the CL4-20 and CLX-20?
Both are M20 bolted crane rail clips using a bearing-type connection, but the CLX-20 has an extended lateral adjustment range. The CL4-20 is suited to standard installations with normal alignment tolerances, while the CLX-20 is preferred where wider lateral adjustment is needed during installation or re-alignment works. Send Inform Rail your project details for advice on which is more appropriate.
Can the CL4-20 be hot-dip galvanized?
Yes. The CL4-20 clip body and cam can be hot-dip galvanized without reducing the lateral resistance rating of the clip. This makes it suitable for outdoor installations, coastal environments and other applications where corrosion protection is required.
How does the modular pressure block work?
The clip top incorporates a vulcanized synthetic pressure block that sits between the clip and the rail head. When the pressure block wears, it can be replaced without replacing the entire clip top assembly, reducing maintenance cost over the life of the installation.
Where can I buy CL4-20 rail clips in Australia?
Inform Rail stocks CL4-20 clips in Brisbane and Cairns and supplies them Australia-wide, from single clips to full project quantities with no minimum order. Send your rail profile and quantities through the Inform Rail Easy Quote form or call (07) 3339 3085 for a fast supply price.
How do I know if the CL4-20 is the right clip for my application?
The CL4-20 is one of the most versatile bolted clips in the range, suitable across the full A-series crane rail profile from A45 to A120. If your application requires extended lateral adjustment, the CLX-20 may be more appropriate. For heavier duty applications with higher lateral loads, the CLX-24 is available. Send Inform Rail your rail profile, application details and any drawings for advice on the right clip type, size and spacing.
