Elastic Pad Mark 2

Elastic Pad Mark 2

The Gantrail Mark 2 pads for gantry rails are designed for installations where rails are mounted on individual plates. The front and rear tabs adhere to the base to prevent the pad from shifting. The pad is trimmed to be 5 mm less than the width of the rail's lower flange. The pads are produced in several sizes, allowing the total surface area to be matched to the expected wheel load.

Technical Description:

• The Mark 2 pad incorporates several proven features. When used with Gantrail adjustable clamps, it significantly reduces stresses in the rail and supporting elements.
• It allows minor rail movements, helping it better adjust to the crane wheels.
• It ensures even distribution of loads on the supporting structure.
• It eliminates load concentration and associated fatigue stresses in the rail mounting.
• It protects the crane mechanism and extends the lifespan of wheels, bearings, and axles.
• It reduces rail and supporting surface wear by eliminating frictional corrosion.
