Gantrail pad can be supplied for any crane or railway rail. It is supplied at just under the width of the foot of the rail so that the adjustable Gantrail clips can fit tightly to the foot of the rail.

Pad can reduce by a significant amount the stress on the crane runway beam or girder

Using pad reduces the risk of fatigue failure in the support structure

Pad can allow the rail to rotate by small amounts and this means that the crane wheel can force the rail into a position where there is good contact across the whole width of the head of the rail.

Pad eliminates the metal to metal contact between the steel rails and is its steel support. Thus it substantially reduces the wear, fretting and corrosion between the rail and the support. This is particularly valuable in outdoor applications or places where oil grease and moisture are to be found.

The elastomer Mark 2 pad and the steel reinforced Mark 7 and Mark 8 pads have been tested and are approximately five times stronger in compression than needed for the highest crane wheel load.
