Self Blocking Rail Clamps: application

This type of clamp is applicable in a very wide range of rail-mounted cranes and machines.

The wide capacity range (100-2000 kN) renders them suitable for the light RMG as well as for the last generation of giant Super Post Panamax Ship to Shore cranes.

These clamps are particularly flexible towards rails with wear thanks to the high allowable tolerances given by the side wedge working principle. The absence of springs and therefore the absence of fatigue is the best feature for heavy-duty application (where a strong cycling work is requested, i.e. closure at each gantry stop).

Other peculiar applications:

High speed automated stockyard cranes;
Coal-mineral yards loaders;
unloaders;
stackers;
reclaimers;
Big shipyard Goliath cranes;

The installation can be done on every part of the crane.
