Crane Rail Pads
Inform Rail stocks a range of crane rail pads to provide continuous support of the rail. Crane rail pads reduce noise, structural vibration, rail wear and fatigue, maintenance requirements, and stress in the structure and the crane.
We have multiple sizes available and can provide the right solution for your project.
- Steel Reinforced Crane Rail Pad — high-load applications requiring maximum durability
- Moderate Duty Crane Rail Pad — general industrial crane runway applications
- Intermittent Crane Rail Pad — for use with rail clips at defined spacing intervals
Crane Rail Hook Bolts
Crane rail hook bolts are used to secure rails to channels or directly onto a crane rail beam. They are usually threaded, allowing lateral adjustment in either direction, and come with hex nuts and lock washers for secure fastening.
When ordering, please specify the rail section, bolt diameter, and the size and weight of the supporting beam or channel so we can ensure the correct hook bolt configuration is supplied.
Custom Sole Plates
Custom sole plates designed to provide stable, load-bearing support for crane rail installations. Manufactured to suit a wide range of rail profiles including A75, A100 and QU120, our sole plates ensure precise rail alignment and effective load distribution across concrete or steel foundations.
Each plate can be drilled to match specific bolt patterns and clip configurations.
