What is a gantry rail?

The gantry rail refers to the track on which the gantry crane travels. A Gantry crane is a variant of a bridge crane. In the port, it is mainly used for the loading and unloading of outdoor cargo yards, stockyards, and bulk cargoes. Its metal structure is like a door-shaped frame, and two feet are installed under the bearing main beam, which can walk directly on the track on the ground, and the two ends of the main beam can have outrigger cantilevers. Gantry cranes have the characteristics of high site utilization, large operating range, wide adaptability, and strong versatility, and are widely used in port cargo yards.
Selecting a suitable gantry rail is very important to the stable operation of the crane. Usually, the crane supplier will give the cross-section requirements of the rail according to the parameters of the crane produced and the type of wheels. The specific installation and required accessories need to be confirmed according to the actual situation of the site. Some crane manufacturers can provide materials such as rails and accessories, but because they are not directly engaged in the sales of rail materials, the cost of the rails and accessories they are equipped with is very high. In addition, the track accessories are not produced by themselves, and the installation guide will be relatively lacking, so it is very important to choose a reliable gantry track supplier.
GloryRail has been specialized in crane rail systems for more than 15 years. It can provide a full range of gantry rail tracks and its fixed installation accessories, and provide technical support for the overall solution of crane rail installation. Choosing the GloryRail crane rail system can effectively reduce the installation and use the cost of the rail system.

Welding Process of Overhead Crane Rail Joint

Welding Process of Overhead Crane Rail Joint In order to make the overhead crane rail transport more stable, rail splints will not be used for the overhead crane rail joint connection, but welded joint connection will be used. The main key to the welded joint is to solve the bending deformation and weld cracking of the overhead crane rail joint. During the welding process of the overhead crane rail joint, the overhead crane rail joint is deformed downwardly, so the overhead crane rail end must be padded to a certain height before welding to ensure that the rail joint can be kept straight after the welding is completed. The height of the rail end pad is determined by factors such as the type of rail, length, fixing method and ambient temperature. The rails are fixed to the crane beam by means of hook bolts, and each joint is provided with four fixed points. After the bottom of the rail is welded, reduce the height to 20mm, and then tighten the hook bolts to continue welding. When the o...

What are railway rail fasteners?

What are railway rail fasteners? Railway rail fasteners Railway rail fasteners are a kind of railway accessories. The parts used to combine rails and sleepers (or other types of under-rail foundations) on the track are also called central joint parts. Its function is to fix the steel rail on the sleeper, maintain the gauge and prevent the longitudinal and lateral movement of the rail relative to the sleeper. The railway rail fastener system is divided into the shrapnel fastener system, gusset fastener system, and elastic strip fastener system. The gusset-type fastener is composed of a gusset plate, a threaded spike, a spring washer, an iron seat, and a buffer pad. The threaded spike is anchored in the reserved hole of the concrete sleeper bearing platform with sulfur cement mortar, and then bolts are used to fasten the buckle. Plate fastened. There are elastic strips I, II, and III types of clip fasteners. Type I elastic strip is composed of ω elastic strip,  screw spike , gauge b...
