Consultancy & Advice / Planning & Design

Designing a crane rail system is more than just providing a means to operate your crane. All to often the design of the crane running system is neglected resulting in emergency repairs, regular maintenance and in extreme cases complete system failure. All of these lead to high maintenance costs and loss of earnings.

With the appropriate system design and installation to the correct tolerance and high standard of craftsmanship, these failures and associated costs can virtually be eliminated.

Drawing on over 50 years collective experience and utilising computer technology, Rapid Rail are able to offer a comprehensive planning and design service together with independent consultancy and advice in order to provide integrity and longevity of the operating structure.

Material Supply

Material supply is critical to the success of any crane rail system. Being an independent installation company enables us to select the most appropriate and cost effective materials from quality approved suppliers.

Working closely with suppliers ensures that we are at the forefront of technology and innovation, leading to the mutual success of customers and suppliers alike.

Installation

There are many different crane rail applications, all of which possess individual design and installation criteria. However varied these applications are, they all share one similarity, all applications are dependent upon correct installation to ensure maximum uninterrupted service life.

How can this be achieved?

  • Correct identification of the crane capacity and service conditions
  • Establishing details of the rail track supporting structure and any particular site requirements, which may effect the design
  • Selecting the correct rail section
  • Identifying the most appropriate fixing method and calculation of the installation pitch
  • Agreement on installation tolerances, which should be as a minimum to industry standards such as BS466 appendix F or FEM 9.831
  • Most important is the installation company. The success of any installation is down to the skills of the engineers and site management. By operating with permanent staff a company is able to focus individuals towards a common goal thus ensuring a safe, competent and successful completion to a contract.

With installation its primary function, an independent installer is reliant upon the successful completion of all contracts.

Rapid Rail have over 50 years collective experience in the installation of crane rails. Operating on a world-wide basis has exposed us to most if not all eventualities. Close co-operation with customers and engineers has ensured a natural and progressive development, which has made us the competent and professional company that we are today.

Planned Maintenance

One of the biggest problems facing manufacturing companies is the threat of plant failure. One way to overcome this is to have regular maintenance with minimum disruption. By working closely with customers we are able to commit ourselves to work programmes which not only fulfil the requirements of the contract, but offer peace of mind knowing that downtime will be kept to a guaranteed minimum.
