G-RAIl PAD

G-RAIL PAD STEEL-REINFORCED RAIL PAD

G-RAIL PAD steel-reinforced rubber rail pad is a vibration and stress reduction element designed to be installed beneath crane rails. Its main purpose is to protect the rail, the supporting structure and also the crane itself from the harming effects of vibration and load irregularity. Rail pads do it so by creating a flexible layer between the rail and the structure.
G-RAIL PAD continuous rail pads are produced in 12-meter long rolls and supplied in multiples of 12 m. They can be supplied in various widths for different rail types.

G-RAIL PAD RAIL PAD FEATURES

• It reduces noise and structural vibration
• It spreads wheel load evenly, fixing the load irregularities
• It is resistant to water, oil, grease, ozone and fungal
• It is reinforced with a steel layer which makes it resistant to crushing or widening
• It ensures superior adherence thanks to its grooved surface
• It has feature of a great degree of recovery
• It protects crane mechanism and makes life of carrier, axle and wheel longer

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
G-RAIL PAD rail pads are periodically subjected to mechanical tests in both native and international institutions. Following

INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
The first step of rail pad installation is to choose the correct size and length. First of all, correct type of rail pad should be selected in accordance with the rail type used.
G-RAIL PAD rail pads can be used in both interior and exterior locations. Before installation, the supporting surface beneath the rail should be removed from oils and sharp, pointed, slipping and wearing materials which may damage the pad. Pads should be laid down on supporting surface as a whole so that no gap exists between them. Its grooved surface should be faced upwards. Pads should be aligned to center according to bottom edges of rail. They should be placed in such a way that their upper parts will be covered completely.
