Grout
Gantrail supplies first class grout products that have been formulated to provide optimum performance, in the most arduous applications, along with ease of preparation and placement.
The Grouts are formulated for two applications on site:
- Fixing the holding down bolts into the concrete supporting structure.
- Filling the gap between the soleplate and the concrete supporting structure to enable precise vertical levelling of the crane rail system, in order to meet the required crane rail installation tolerances.
Three formulations are routinely used when installing crane rails:
- Polyester – normally only used for fixing holding down bolts.
- Epoxy – used for fixing holding down bolts and beneath the soleplate.
- Cement based – used for fixing holding down bolts and beneath the soleplate.
The choice will be dependent on the application and other environmental factors.
