Continuous Soleplates

Heavier crane rails or heavier duty applications need the strength of continuous support when the rail is supported on concrete structure. Continuous soleplates can be used with bolt fixed or welded clips. However, it is often economical to do more work off site and use welded base clips. The design, layout, manufacture and installation of continuous sole plates are not straightforward and require carefully planning an execution.

• Continuous soleplates with welded base clips and epoxy based grouts supply the strongest most reliable solution for heavy duty crane rails mounted on concrete
• Cement bases grouts can be used and are useful when large gaps between the concrete and soleplate need to be filled
• Soleplates can be earthed and bonded to the rail to give lightening protection
