Gantrex offers an economical solution for measuring forces on crane rails, addressing the lack of a simple measurement system. Their device autonomously collects lateral and vertical force data without interfering with operations and can be installed quickly on site. The system provides accurate measurements and is suitable for various rail types, ensuring the integrity of support designs.

- 1. Quality on Track® A Member of the GANTRY GROUP Rail Load Measurement Services Current Problem: No simple system exists to measure forces exerted on crane rails Forces are currently only analyzed through theory Very difficult to accurately predict lateral and vertical forces hence support designs may be inadequate Gantrex Solution: A simple and economical solution to measure the forces generated by the crane operation Measurements of the lateral and vertical forces exerted on the rail Provides a Force Histogram graph of lateral forces for analysis, and pressure maping of vertical load (if required) Track Expertise Temporary Installation of Gantrex measuring device: • Fast and easy to install on site, usually 1-2 hours • that doesn’t require any handling of the rail while it is measuring Load measurements are obtained autonomously without operation interference, or personnel risk. Main Characteristics ased on the new RailLok™ range. B easurement accuracy: +/- 5% M ange of the lateral forces measured: from 0 to 300 kN R ervice currently available to measure the following rails: S • A75, A100, A120, A150, MRS 87A, MRS 125, 104CR, 135CR, 175CR and 171CR, (other rails request) Track Geometry easuring device is compact and low profile; Suitable for M narrow beams and crane’s with guide rollers) For more information, contact your local Gantrex representative Waterproof system Can work autonomously for 24 hours GANTREX Inc. / GANTREX CANADA Inc. www.Gantrex.com sales@Gantrex.com
