Rail - A key component
of the crane
support system
Our access to large rail inventories can provide short delivery times.
Gantrex has over 30 years of experience in assisting in the selection of rail profiles to suit
numerous and varied applications on both steel and concrete supported runways.
Since a rail profile is the surface on which cranes and other material handling machines operate,
it is a most fundamental element of the structure: In general, the rail selection must satisfy criteria
such as reliability, economy and life expectancy. We can assist in selecting the rail characteristics
to meet specific design parameters. Gantrex is supported by an experienced Engineering
staff and associated rail mill technical expertise, backed by university testing and dedicated
laboratories. Our calculations, dimensioning and diagnoses are all essential elements required to
choose a rail to ensure longevity of the crane support structure.
Our technical and sales specialists further contribute by designing the most efficient crane
support system (ie., rail profile, clips, pad, soleplates, epoxy grout and anchor bolts). In addition,
an experienced field group provides project and design coordination, supervision and rail welding
(flash butt, thermite and puddle arc) capabilities.
Depending on the individual customer requirements (quantity, grade, profile and delivery),
Gantrex is normally in a good position to provide rail from local stock, preferred suppliers or
directly from the mill.

Crane Rail Welding
Methods
A number of different rail welding processes have been used to produce efficient crane runways.
Gantrex has the history, experience and capability to field weld using Puddle Arc, Calorite
Thermal and Flash-Butt procedures. Below is a short overview of the most common methods:
Puddle Arc - an electro-slag process used extensively in Europe where it lends itself to the
joining relatively low carbon”A” rails. It is skill dependent, where weld is puddled into the rail gap
and retained by “coppers” matched to the rail profile. The “coppers” are individually shaped by the
welder to match his own “puddling” technique. Puddle Arc Welding can result in a good joint, but
is dependent of the skill of the welder. It also creates a larger heat-affected zone than thermal or
flash-butt rail welding. Battering can be a problem on higher cycle runways. Larger profiles may
take up to 10 hours per weld. Not commonly used today.
Calorite Thermal - a thermal-slag process using a chemical heat source. Rail ends are square
cut and sand molds are set on the sides and bottom of the rail. After preheat of the ends, a
thermal charge is ignited in a crucible and the molten steel allowed to flow into the cavity. The rail
ends are joined via a casting during the welding process. This weld is good, affords portability and
4-5 welds can be made by a two man crew in a normal shift.
Flash-Butt - technically, the best weld. It produces the smallest heat affected zone, minimizing
joint batter, and uses electric current and hydraulic rams to butt the rail ends together at the upset
temperature. As many as 4 welds per hour may be possible for overhead runways and 4-6 welds
per hour for ground tracks. This system is most effective when the rail is fed from a fixed location
and advanced down the runway on rollers. Used on runways where all the rail is replaced.

RailLok™
clips
A big step forward
The RailLok™ clips are the latest generation
of GANTREX® soft-mount crane rail
fixing devices. They bring to the market
improved performances compared to the
previous generation of clips: they are more
steadfast, they allow shorter installation
time, they boast stronger capacities and
they feature a narrower design, providing
operational and financial savings.
For decades, Gantrex’ soft crane rail fixing systems have been satisfactorily addressing the industry
demand for reliable, resilient, productive and technically efficient solutions to their crane rail
installations.
However, as cranes’ capacities continue to grow, duty cycles increase, speeds become faster, and at
the same time, new generation of cranes are frequently constructed with more flexible frame and less
material, as are the structure which support those cranes. Resulting vibration and oscillation of the crane
and their support buildings are more common and lead to continuous high frequency cyclic stresses
which can result in failure of both the rail support structure and the crane itself.
Moreover, and although this had been previously experienced in other industries, a major and
fundamental change specifically intervenes in the port business: cargo-handling automation becomes a
crucial issue which paves the way to the port industry of the 21st century.
The RailLok™ solution
Because the new generations of (automated) cranes need even more performing fixing devices for
their rails, Gantrex has literally rewritten the state of the art.
Principle
The RailLok™ technology improves the features of the previous generation of clips by cleverly ensuring
self-contact between the clip and rail which keeps the tightened clip bolts in tension:
• either through the double wedge with patented self-contact of inclined bolt, for weldable clips;
• or through the glide washer and the grooved upper component, for the boltable clips.
Designed with FEA, the RailLok™ clips feature higher load resistance than the previous generation of
clips without impacting the related operational cost of a crane runway. On the opposite! Combined
with the RailLok™ pad, to form a complete RailLok™ solution, they increase the soft mount performances
of the track and can be considered in this respect as OPEX killers: a state-of-art strong and soft
mount system will prevent rail lateral movements, and thus, avoid disturbances and necessary repairs
or readjustments on the track.

INSTALLATION RECOMMENDATIONS
The centerline of the rail must be used as the reference. Using gages is recommended.
Clips should be installed in opposing pairs. They should never be staggered.
Welding should be completed prior to pad installation, as excessive heat could damage the pad.
Do not paint between clip components unless accepted by Gantrex.
Clip spacing, distance of weld to the edge of the steel plate, as well as corrosion protection will depend on the application.

COMPONENTS MATERIALS
The RailLok™ Bg10 is standard with hot dip galvanized ductile cast iron components and vulcanize-bonded rubber nose.
Contact Gantrex for other options.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Make sure to choose the adequate bolt grade to achieve the clip side load resistance : Grade A325 for 9 kips and Grade A490 for 12 kips.
The main component is first positioned on the bolt against the rail and the special washer is then positioned on the main component with its heel into
the slot of the clip. The nut is hand tightened. Once the main component is in position, use an electrical or pneumatic wrench to torque the nut.
For most applications, use bolts complying with ISO 4014 (DIN 931) or ISO 4017 (DIN 933) and the corresponding nuts and washers.
For full instructions on the use of RailLok™ boltable clips, refer to the data sheet “Installation Instructions”.

NOTES
1) The Weldlok 43 features either a forged steel or cast iron upper component and hot vulcanize-bonded
rubber nose. Clips with cast iron upper components are specified by adding suffix “Z” to
the end of the part number, (e.g. Weldlok 43/135Z or Weldlok 43/135PZ).
2) To order clips without rubber noses consult GANTREX for proper selection.
3) GANTREX clips are available to suit most rail sections. Please consult GANTREX for details if
your rail does not appear in the above table.
4) GANTREX recommends that rail joints be welded wherever possible.
5) If more vertical clearance is needed, 1 3/4" long bolts may be substituted for standard 2” long
bolts, in which case the overall clip height is reduced to 2 3/8”. Ask GANTREX for information on
low profile clips, such as the Weldlok 32.
6) Narrow lower components (Weldlok 10 Series and Weldlok 20 Series) are also available.
Consult GANTREX for details, or refer to Weldlok 10 or 20 Series literature sheets.
7) Contact GANTREX for available protective coatings.

INSTALLATION
The lower component is welded to the support parallel to the axis of the rail and the upper
component fastened to it by means of two 3/4" Dia. Grade 5 hex head capscrews. For complete
instructions, refer to GANTREX "Weldlok 10, 20, 32 & 43 Series Suggested Weld and Installation
Instructions" sheet. Do not use cleaning fluids or protective coatings which contain ketones or similar
chemicals, as they may seriously damage the rubber nose.

SUGGESTED WELD AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
SUGGESTED WELD
• The lower component of the GANTREX Weldlok Series clip is welded to the support structure. The weld size in the
V-shaped recess on the side facing the rail, must not exceed 3/16”. This will avoid any interference with the locating
lug on the upper component. Welds on the back and sides of the clip may be as large as required to accommodate
the imposed side thrust and to meet governing welding code requirements.
• The following are welds suggested by GANTREX. The actual weld size (which is dictated by design thrust) and the
welding procedure should be specified by the designer.
• WELDLOK 10 SERIES - The maximum side thrust capacity of 17,000* LB can be obtained by increasing
(Weld “Y” & “Z”) to 1/4”.
• WELDLOK 20 SERIES - The maximum side thrust capacity of 20,000* LB can be obtained by increasing
(Weld “Y” & “Z”) to 3/8”.
• WELDLOK 32 SERIES - The maximum side thrust capacity of 32,000* LB can be obtained by increasing
(Weld “Y” & “Z”) to 1/4”.
• WELDLOK 43 SERIES - The maximum side thrust capacity of 43,000* LB can be obtained by increasing
(Weld “Y” & “Z”) to 3/8”.
NOTE: Side thrust capacities shown above are based on allowable weld stress of 15,000 psi for up to 100,000 full load
cycles. AISC requires a reduction for up to 500,000 cycles and a further reduction for up to 2,000,000 cycles.

• The correct bolt assembly consists of a Grade 5 hex head capscrew with A325 structural nut and washer.
• The correct bolt assembly for the Weldlok 32 consists of a modified M20 HHCS x 35mm screw with a 20 mm jam nut
and 3/4” hardened structural washer.
• Weld rod: any low hydrogen rod suitable for use with structural steel may be used. Typical designations include E7018.
• Clips should be installed in opposing pairs. They should NEVER be staggered.
• For new installations the lower component should be welded in the fabrication facility (steps 1 and 2).
• Welding should be completed prior to pad installation, as excessive heat could damage the pad.
• Painting the lower component may reduce side thrust capacity. Consult GANTREX for additional information.
It is imperative that the clips be adjusted to ensure ZERO lateral rail float as shown in Figure 6. Improper
adjustment will cause pad failure. Verification of the required hardware torque and clip upper adjustment
should be performed within the first three months of running operation.
For clarification on any of the above or for more comprehensive suggestions on repair or rerail projects, consult GANTREX.

• The suggested weld is along the front of the clip and along the back: Weld “X” and Weld “Y”.
• Completing the weld along both sides of the clip, Weld “Z”, brings the side thrust capacity to
the values stated in the table above.
• WELDLOK 15 SERIES - The maximum side thrust capacity of 15,000* LB can be obtained by
increasing Weld “Y” & “Z” to 3/8”.
• WELDLOK 18 SERIES - The maximum side thrust capacity of 18,000* LB can be obtained by
increasing Weld “Y” & “Z” to 5/16”.

PAD - MK9.1
GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS
The “redesigned edge seal” virtually eliminates the ingress of contaminants and water which can cause premature failure of the pad, rail and
support structure. These seals also improve the compression caused by the nose of the clip, preventing pad movement when the pressure of
the rail is released.
The updated “design of the grooves” avoids high stresses and resultant damage due to high loads, rail twisting and oscillation.
Note: Imperial dimensions are given as reference only. RailLok™ Pad is manufactured according to metric dimensions.
The values shown are nominal widths corresponding to the width of the rail foot. C200 is a crowned pad suitable for the DIN rail A100.
MK9.1 RailLok™ double-crown pad is supplied in rolls with standard lengths of 39 feet, tolerances on length is ± 2”.
Pad can be provided in various other lengths thanks to the flexibility with the extruded manufacturing process.
Nominal thickness of uncompressed pad is 9/32”.

to specify your operating temperature.
A noise reduction of approximately 10% and vibration reduction up to 48% can be expected.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. MK9.1 RailLok™ pad is recommended for all installations, both indoors and outdoors. For better results, RailLok™ series clips should also
be used to fix the rail laterally in order to keep the pad firmly under the rail.
2. The upper surface of the supporting structure should be clean and free from oil, grease and any sharp or abrasive particles that are likely
to damage the pad. Please consult Gantrex before a corrosion protection painting system can be applied on the supporting structure before
the installation of the pad.
3. The pad should be laid in continuous lengths on the support surface, with the grooved side up, the ends butted tightly together and centered
at a pair of rail clips. Rail pad should always be centered beneath the rail foot so that it is completely covered.
4. Pad joints should be at least 1 meter away from rail joints, adjacent girder joints or building expansion joints.
5. The minimum length of pad should not be less than 3 times the center distance between clips.
6. Pad stops should be considered at the ends of each runway and where the continuity of the support cannot be achieved and large gaps
between adjacent pads may occur.
7. Do not use cleaning fluids or protective coatings which contain ketones or similar chemicals, as they may seriously damage the rubber pad.

Crane Rail Welding
Methods
A number of different rail welding processes have been used to produce efficient crane runways.
Gantrex has the history, experience and capability to field weld using Puddle Arc, Calorite
Thermal and Flash-Butt procedures. Below is a short overview of the most common methods:
Puddle Arc - an electro-slag process used extensively in Europe where it lends itself to the
joining relatively low carbon”A” rails. It is skill dependent, where weld is puddled into the rail gap
and retained by “coppers” matched to the rail profile. The “coppers” are individually shaped by the
welder to match his own “puddling” technique. Puddle Arc Welding can result in a good joint, but
is dependent of the skill of the welder. It also creates a larger heat-affected zone than thermal or
flash-butt rail welding. Battering can be a problem on higher cycle runways. Larger profiles may
take up to 10 hours per weld. Not commonly used today.
Calorite Thermal - a thermal-slag process using a chemical heat source. Rail ends are square
cut and sand molds are set on the sides and bottom of the rail. After preheat of the ends, a
thermal charge is ignited in a crucible and the molten steel allowed to flow into the cavity. The rail
ends are joined via a casting during the welding process. This weld is good, affords portability and
4-5 welds can be made by a two man crew in a normal shift.
Flash-Butt - technically, the best weld. It produces the smallest heat affected zone, minimizing
joint batter, and uses electric current and hydraulic rams to butt the rail ends together at the upset
temperature. As many as 4 welds per hour may be possible for overhead runways and 4-6 welds
per hour for ground tracks. This system is most effective when the rail is fed from a fixed location
and advanced down the runway on rollers. Used on runways where all the rail is replaced.
PRINCIPLE
Aluminothermic welding is a welding process for the joining of rails. The aluminothermic compound is a mixture of metal
oxides, alloying elements and special additives. These react to form the metal, simultaneously creating an exothermic reaction to produce
superheated molten steel which forms the weld.
The rails to be joined together are aligned leaving a prescribed gap between their ends. Preformed refractory moulds are fitted around the
gap formed at the junction of the two rails. The updated process uses a one-shot crucible.
Below general description of process is presented, for more details refer for welding Gantrex manual and recommendations.
EQUIPMENT
An aluminothermic kit is used to weld two rails together. The kit is composed of 3 pieces moulds which seal the prescribed cavity between
each rail to receive and shape the flow of hot metal coming from the one short crucible after ignition of the aluminothermic powder of the
portion.
RAIL CUTS
• The rail edges must be vertical and square cut, using a rail circular saw cut (no flame cutting allowed).
• Ends must be free from rust and carefully cleaned.

Rail Welding
Aluminothermic welding
RAIL PREHEATING
Using a specially designed burner, the moulds and the enclosed rail ends are pre-heated for a time, dependent upon the rail section, to
achieve the correct welding temperature.
IGNITION
When the correct degree of preheat has been achieved reaction is initiated in the crucible using a special igniter.
Superheated molten steel is produced by an alumino thermic reaction.
The mixture is ignited, and an intense exothermic chemical reaction between the fine aluminum and iron oxide powder occurs in the
crucible.

Rail Welding
Aluminothermic welding
WELDING
At the correct time the tapping system at the base of the crucible discharges the superheated molten steel into moulds via the pouring cup.
The reaction heat makes the charge melt and the molten steel pours into the mould through a temperature operated thimble, flowing down
into the gap to form the weld. The slag which is mostly aluminum oxide requires about 20-25 seconds after completing the reaction to sepa-
rate from the molten steel and float to the upper part of the crucible.
Rail ends that have been preheated using gas torches are joined by partially melting them with the superheated liquid steel metal resulting
from the chemical reaction.
At this stage no shocks or vibration is accepted.
Shearing is performed when the weld has set long enough and before it has become cold.
The shearing operation is done on running surface, rail head sides and risers.
After cooling and solidification of the weld, the mould is removed and the excess welded metal around the rail head is sheared off.
The upper surface of the head is then finished by grinding to the shape of the adjoining rail head profile.

OLEO Sample Calculations
BOdiES in mOtiOn
Kinetic Energy is associated with a body in motion. Newton’s 1st Law of Motion states that a body will continue in motion
unless acted upon by a force. An Oleo Hydraulic Bumper will control the magnitude and duration of this force. Newton’s 2nd
Law of Motion provides that the rate of change of motion is proportional to the force applied. An Oleo Hydraulic Bumper
ensures that the force applied is always the minimum required to produce the desired change in motion. Newton’s 3rd Law of
Motion identifies that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. An Oleo Hydraulic Bumper controls the arresting
force and limits the reaction on the supporting structure. These principles are the foundation for understanding the benefits and
characteristics of a hydraulic energy absorber such as the Oleo Hydraulic Bumper.
KinEtiC EnERGY
A body in motion, such as a crane, has kinetic energy that must be dissipated to bring it to rest. A hydraulic bumper produces
a resistive force over a displacement to dissipate the energy by converting work energy to thermal energy. The bumper forces
oil through a variable orifice to produce fluidic friction and therefore a resisting force.
The graph above on the right shows equal amounts of kinetic energy (represented by the area under the Force vs. Stroke
curve) being absorbed with different stroke lengths. As you can see, the more stroke, the lower the resistive force. This
resistive force is proportional to the rate of change of motion, or deceleration. Ultimately, the Oleo bumper governs the
magnitude of force transmitted to both the impacting body as well as the reaction force onto the support or fixed structure.
pROpELLinG FORCES
In many applications, the body in motion is also being propelled. This propelling force is additive with the Kinetic Energy as it
acts through the displacement of the bumper. It is always important to determine whether or not the impacting body will be
propelled during the impact and to allow sufficient additional energy capacity. Not all design codes or references include
propelling forces, so it is the designer’s responsibility to determine when they should be considered.

Mounting Brackets
STANDARD BRACKETS
Gantrex hydraulic bumpers are extremely versatile with respect to mounting options. As shown in the individual
bumper data sheets, standard mounting flanges for “Front” or “Rear” mounting are most typical. Bolt pattern
and hole sizes are clearly shown in the drawings provided. Each standard mounting flange has an additional
hole to allow safety wire to be looped back from the bumper to the crane or supporting structure. If these
“standard” configurations do not suit your requirements, we are able to provide custom designed brackets or
flanges upon request. These custom designs include boltable and weldable styles.
The following charts show standard configurations of weldable foot mounting brackets. These designs can be
easily modified to match your requirements.

CUSTOM BUMPER MOUNTING BRACKETS
SPECIAL DESIGNS
Custom brackets and fabrications are available to simplify mounting or retrofit of Gantrex hydraulic bumpers.
The mounting bracket can be designed to maximize the useful portion of your crane runway while maintaining
the required clearances around other cranes or end stops. The mounting plates can be designed to match
existing bolt holes to make installation easy. “Bolt-in-place” replacements streamline bumper installation
processes. We will provide an approval drawing and proposal for your evaluation. Contact GANTREX for
assistance. Some sample designs are shown below:

Storm Bumpers
Container cranes, gantry cranes and other rail mounted machines are often located in environments where the
danger from high winds or microbursts can cause serious safety problems. Sudden, high winds can propel a crane
along its runway until it impacts the end stops. Often the impact speed is considerably higher than the full load rated
travel speed of the crane. A storm bumper can offer protection for most container cranes at speeds up to 5 miles per
hour with limited bumper end force. Storm bumpers consist of one or more hydraulic bumpers mounted on the end
stops of the pier. A suitable striking surface on the crane leg or end truck engages the bumper.
Controlling impacts and reducing resultant damaging effects have historically been a problem in heavy crane
applications. OIeo hydraulic bumpers are efficient and effective energy absorbers that offer the following features:
Provide uniform deceleration and low end forces, with over 95% efficiency in energy absorption and
dissipation
Allow easy drive down for maximum end approach, through fatigueless gas spring return
Provide reliability and durability even in caustic or marine environments due to their heavy-duty, forged steel
construction
Are available in a full range of standard bumper sizes and configurations with energy capacity over
1,000,000 ft-lbs
-1-
OLEO STORM BUMPER GANTREX
OPERATING PRINCIPLE
The Oleo bumper is basically a large oil dashpot,
incorporating a variable orifice, and the sectional
illustration shows its simple, heavy duty construction.
Under impact, the plunger is forced into the cylinder
displacing oil through the orifice into the plunger, moving
the separator piston towards the bumper head and
compressing the air (nitrogen) to a higher pressure. The
compressed air (nitrogen) acting through the separator
piston on to the oil forms the recoil “spring” to re-extend
the bumper plunger.
Impact Weight Per Corner can be greater than the above. Sometimes this can be as much as 60% of total crane
weight. In the Engineering Data table below, look in the “Maximum Impact Weight Per Corner” column, under the
desired speed, for the calculated “Impact Weight Per Corner”. In this example, we have 1,350,000 lbs and the Storm
Bumper Model SB-6 at 5 mph is rated for up to 1,392,952 lbs. Therefore, this is an acceptable solution. Now, we can
calculate the Kinetic Energy per corner as follows:
2
= 1/2 (Impact Weight / 32.2) x (Speed x 1.467)
2
Kinetic Energy Per Corner at 5 mph = 1/2 (1,350,000 lbs / 32.2) x (5 mph x 1 .467)
= 1,127,841 ft-lbs

Actual End Force Per Corner at 5 mph = -----------------------------

priNcipLE OF OpEraTiON
Upon impact, the plunger displaces oil through orifices in the metering tube, into
the reservoir. The size and position of these orifices can be varied to suit different
mass ranges. Plunger return is achieved by a gas spring recoil system. During
production, the gas spring is inflated with nitrogen gas and sealed for the life of the
bumper.
The bumper is designed with low static resistance. Under slow closure, the low
resistance allows the shock absorber plunger to be driven in, thus maximizing
runway approaches.
The shock absorbers can be supplied with options such as safety cables, bellows,
low and high temperature seals, marine plating for outdoor use, to suit a range of
requirements.

LDi Series 200 Bumpers
Type 204 - 212
INTRODUCTION
Gantrex is proud to present the LDi Series 200 bumper, designed for lighter duty applications than the
Oleo heavy industrial range of shock absorbers.
PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
The operation of the Series 200 bumper is very simple. Upon impact, the plunger displaces oil through
orifices in the metering tube into the oil reservoir. The size and position of these orifices can be varied to suit
different ranges of weights.
Plunger reset is achieved by a gas spring return system. During production, the gas spring is inflated with
nitrogen gas to a pressure of 72.5 psi (5 bar) and sealed for life. It requires no further attention after leaving the
factory. The testing procedure utilizes a tracer gas which, although inert, can be detected in minute traces by
sophisticated quality control equipment.
By virtue of the design of the bumper, under slow closure, the resistance is very low, which means that the
bumper can easily be driven down, thus utilizing maximum runway length and better hook approach.

IMPORTANT NOTES
1. If ambient temperature is below -4°F (-20° C), special seals may be required.
2. Angular misalignment must not exceed 2°.
3. Within the performance capability of the shock absorber, it is possible, on special request, to supply
metering tubes for higher mass ranges.
4. Shock absorber can be mounted in any position.
5. Unit is factory sealed and should never need gas or oil added.

TEMPERATURE CONSIDERATIONS
FOR BEST RESULTS, GANTREX™ K3 EPOXY GROUT SHOULD BE TRANSPORTED, STORED AND PLACED WITH THE PRODUCT
TEMPERATURE MAINTAINED BETWEEN 70°F (21°C) and 90°F (32°C). Surface temperature of the concrete base and soleplates should also be
maintained in this range during placement.
Consult Gantrex for cold or hot weather grout installations.
YIELD
Final product yield is based on accurate mixing and placing of a standard (full load) aggregate mix. Yield is expressed in the same units as the
product packaging, three (3) cubic foot units.
Place the grout using a head box (See next page). It is important that grout be poured from only one side of the soleplate or base plate to avoid
air entrapment beneath. If this is not possible, consult Gantrex for air relief (vent) hole locations.

Adhesive Anchor Bolts
For Crane Rail on Concrete Applications
INTRODUCTION
The Gantrex Anchor Bolt Assembly is used to mount rail soleplates and other equipment with a polyester-based
resin & catalyst compound. It is installed by drilling a hole in the concrete deck, mixing the resin and filling the hole.
The mixed resin performs as an adhesive, suspending the bolt in place until it cures to complete the process.
Unlike anchors using epoxy-based resin, Gantrex anchors can be placed in temperatures as low as 10°F.
The bolt itself is an all-thread steel rod, complete with a nut and a washer. Bolts can be supplied in different
diameters and lengths. The polyester-based resin is supplied either in quart cans, which can be mixed and poured
directly from the container, into the hole, or in convenient high-capacity cartridges, mixed and injected with a gun.
*NOTE: Epoxy-based anchors are also available. Please consult Gantrex.

Freight classification: Organic Peroxide, Type D solid (Dibenzoyl Peroxide,50%)5.2, UN 3106, Packing Gp. ll.
PLACEMENT PROCEDURE
Holes are air-drilled in concrete deck, using a soleplate as template. The drilled holes are 1/8” greater in
diameter, than the anchor bolt diameter. These holes are then cleaned to remove dust and debris.
One container of catalyst is added to one can of polyester resin and mixed in the can for 60 to 90 seconds,
or injected directly via cartridge. The mixture is poured or injected into the hole, to about one third the depth. The
anchor bolt is then suspended from the soleplate, and placed in the resin in the hole. Rotate the anchor bolt
within the hole so that all threads are completely covered with adhesive. The resin cures and sets firm in about
one hour. The anchors must not be disturbed during this time. Full cure occurs at around 24 hours.
SUGGESTED EMBEDMENT
It is important that anchor bolts are embedded to a proper depth to achieve adequate strength. In 5 ksi concrete,
for example, we suggest that A36 anchor bolts be embedded to at least 8 times their diameter (a 3/4” rod will
require an embedded length of at least 6”). This is adequate to achieve a strong enough bond with the concrete
such that, in a pullout test, the anchor bolt will yield before the bond with the concrete. Similarly, the suggested
embedment for B7 bolts is 12 times the bolt diameter.

NOTES:
1) Replace 'A-36' with 'B7' for high strength material.
2) Suffix with ‘Z’ for Zinc plated or ‘G’ for hot dipped galvanized.
3) Rod assembly consists of one rod + 1 nut + 1 washer.
4) Resin volume shown includes 50% for waste.
While the steel hardware can be shipped at any time, due to the sensitivity of the resin/catalyst system, it is
recommended that the adhesive be shipped 3-4 weeks prior to actual installation. This time allows for the
temperature of the adhesive to stabilize prior to installation.

ADHESIVE ANCHOR BOLT INSTALLATION
Hole Drilling & Cleaning
Surface preparation is important and Gantrex recommends that all holes for concrete anchor
bolts be made with air tools. Pneumatic drilling cleans the hole while drilling and provides a rough
texture inside the hole for easier bonding between the adhesive, bolt and concrete.
If holes are electric drilled, they must be wired brushed and blown out so that dust and debris
are cleared. If holes are DIAMOND-CORE DRILLED, the sides of the holes must be scored to
allow the resin to develop a keying action to the concrete surface.
Holes should be 1/8” larger than the bolt diameter and meet minimum embedment standards.
(See the volume chart on Page 3.) Do not use Keligrout in holes that are more than 1/4" larger
than the anchor diameter without first consulting Gantrex.
Mixing
Pour the pre-proportioned hardening powder (catalyst) into the quart can. Stir thoroughly by
hand using an anchor, stir stick or electric paint mixer for at least 65 stirs, (90 seconds), mixing
thoroughly from the bottom to the top. Make sure the catalyst is distributed throughout the
resin. Pour the mixed adhesive directly into the bottom 1/3 of the prepared hole.
Bolt Placement
Push the rod to the bottom of the hole and rotate it to assure total "wetting". Hold in place,
undisturbed, until gel occurs, usually within minutes, depending on the ambient temperature at
the time of installation. Do not disturb the anchor for at least one (1) hour. After the
material has cooled it will have 50 to 60% of its ultimate strength. Full cure will be in 24 hours.
Shelf Life
Shelf life of KELIGROUT™ is 6 months from date (lot number) which is stamped on every can.
KELIGROUT™ should be stored at 70°F (21°C), and out of direct sunlight. Storage temperatures
should never exceed 85°F (30°C).
Shipping
When shipping Keligrout always use D.O.T. #UN1133 for Flammable Liquid.
1. Keep Keligrout cool until immediately before using. An insulated cooler (and a little ice on
really hot days) will do a good job. Do not let cans get wet.
2. Keep containers of Keligrout out of direct sunlight.
CAUTION
Solvents for Keligrout are highly flammable and volatile.
DO NOT SMOKE OR USE NEAR OPEN FLAME OR SPARKS.
Volume
Always drill an exact depth hole for the needed embedment. Gantrex provides approximately
twice the amount of adhesive required to anchor each bolt to the specified embedment. These
amounts can be easily determined using displacement formulae.

GANTREX TM
Trench Infill
Crane tracks are mostly in trenches who are at risk
for pedestrians and for vehicle wheels.
Main features:
Pedestrian traffic
The GANTREXTM Trench Infill is made of up to 1200 mm long components; other dimensions
depend on the rail and trench sizes, please consult Gantrex.
Component material
Selected recycled rubber bonded with polyurethane under high temperature and pressure
Installation Instructions
• The Trench Infill is simply placed in the clean and dry trench, while ensuring that the
chambers of the infill match with the corresponding locations of the track fixing devices.
No sealing or gluing is required.
GANTREXTM Trench Infill solution was to be found to fill the rail trench with an easy-to-remove
material that at the same time would be able to sustain the heavy loads coming from container
truck wheels. Gantrex developed the trench infill system based on resilient material made of selected
recycled rubber bonded with polyurethane. Gantrex has developed different designs depending on
the requirements of the operators, with infill solutions ranging from pedestrians cross-traffic or to
heavy-duty trailers.
Main benefits of the GANTREXTM Trench Infill are elimination of tripping hazards for pedestrians,
reducing the impact in vehicle wheels and tyre wear and tear, reducing rail track corrosion by
preventing water discharge being clogged by dirt (as is the case with common asphalt infill) and
providing continuous ventilation, easy inspection and maintenance due to “quick install” design.
Gantrex offices, staffed with qualified and trained technical personnel, are located on all continents and
available to provide local application support and service in all industries and applications, to be
ON TRACK. WITH YOU.

Crane girder
tieback
assemblies
What is a tieback?
When a crane travels down a runway, it
generates vertical, longitudinal and lateral
forces. The lateral forces go from the crane
wheel into the web of the rail, are transferred
to the crane rail clips through the rail flange
and from there into the crane girder. These
forces have to be transferred from the crane
girder to a building column, located at the end
of the girder, and into the foundation.
Traditional tiebacks
In the past, tiebacks were manufactured
from channels or angles and formed rigid
connections between the crane girder and the
building column. Other methods included the
use of horizontal plates with slotted angles or
vertical diaphragms, again rigid connections.
• Side thrust of the crane generated by trolley movement, crane skewing, and imperfect rail
alignment cause girder end rotation in the (Y) direction.
• Vertical loading of the crane directly above the girder column support will result in compression
of this support relative to the building column in the (X) direction.
The link design allows the forces to be transferred rigidly into the column while the bearings provide
flexibility to accommodate the girder deflection and end rotation.
• Automotive
• Railway
Our team of 300 Gantrex crane rail specialists worldwide will guide and offer the tieback
assemblies best suiting your needs with the support of our Technical Department’s design
calculations, including crane loading, duty cycles, structural conditions and ease of installation.
Gantrex tieback assembly styles
There is an infinite variety of building column sizes and crane girders. The layouts also vary from plant
to plant. Based on these layouts, Gantrex provides different assembly styles, customized to suit specific
needs. Tiebacks also fall into two categories – single and double:
The normal tieback, placed at a location between two adjacent girders, consists of one bracket each
for the two girders, connected with two links to a common bracket on the column. This is considered a
double tieback.
If there is limited space, between the column and the girder, single tiebacks are mounted to the sides
of the column. Single tiebacks are also used for runway end girders or where a continuous girder bridges
a building column.
Please contact your local Gantrex representative to finalize your assembly details.

Overhead
Cranes
Of Critical Importance
Overhead Cranes that run on rails attached
to steel girders are among the hardest
working machines in their plants. Whether
it’s steel & aluminium works, utility,
automotive or general manufacturing
plants, these cranes are typically critical to
the process and must continue operating
without interruption if a plant is to remain
viable. Costly down time caused by rail
issues is not acceptable.
From its inception, Gantrex has been providing a better way to limit and control these forces through
soft-mount technology. Since these forces cannot be eliminated, the use of components designed
specifically for crane runways and trolley rails have helped direct those forces in a way that reduces
shock and vibration, while controlling alignment and providing a predictable path to nearly eliminate
the fatigue damage caused by crane operation.
• RailLok™ crane rail pad which reduces stresses into the runway
structure while minimizing shock, vibration and noise to critical
crane components and the surrounding operational area.

rails for
Shipyards
Multiple solutions for
multiple applications
Shipyards are places where ships are built,
maintained and/or repaired. Ships can vary
in size from personal sailing boats to large
container ships designed to travel around
the globe. Shipyards can be equipped to
operate on vessels both on- and off-shore,
and different technologies for transferring
vessels on-shore are in existence. The
different areas within the shipyard require
different rail solutions.
Ship lifting
Shiplifts
Vessels are lifted in & out of the water vertically by the use of a shiplift with a number of hoists, and
transported to to the dry berths on trolleys or cradles.
The lift platforms are normally articulated to allow for deflection under load. The rail system is designed
to suit the projected deflection and so it is typically shimmed to the design unloaded position, and
secured with hard clamps on welded studs. Under load the platform deflects, and the rail system is
designed to ensure a smooth transfer to the landside system.
Slipway
A slipway is a ramp on the shore by which
vessels can be moved to and from the water.
Rails are installed at a slope and care should
be given to longitudinal rail movement due to
gravitational and braking forces. Rails can be
installed on concrete foundation, steel girder,
or a combination of both. Different solutions
are available depending on the foundation, and
special attention should be paid to corrosion
protection in the tidal area.
Transfer Systems
The transfer area is where the boats are transported, on trolleys or cradles, to or from construction
and maintenance berths and buildings. This zone can be built in a single or double level, each with its
specific design for the rail system. Special attention should be paid to the rail transition areas between
the shiplift, carriages and the dry berths.
• RailLok™ crane rail pad which reduces stresses into the runway
structure while minimizing shock, vibration and noise to critical
crane components and the surrounding operational area.
• Rail and rail cross overs selection and supply. Via its global
experience, direct access to rolling mills and its distribution
