Rail Size and Section
Crane Rail
A specialty rail, mainly used for overhead crane runways and
gantry cranes. Lighter sizes (below 40 lbs.) are used in amusement park railways and for underground mine trackage. Crane
rail differs from railroad rail in two respects:
1. The base width is always equal to the height of the rail (exception– 135 lb. crane rail).
2. Heavier crane rail (104 lbs. and up) has a much thicker web
than railroad rail, giving it a very distinctive section.

How to Order
Get the crane rail you need, mitre-cut or
square-cut to exact length in proper runs,
drilled for splices and for hook bolts when
required. L.B. Foster Company will supply
joint bars with the exact fasteners and crane
stops to meet your specifications.
You can depend on complete-package
deliveries to your plant with all material ready
to install.
www.lbfoster.com
866.523.7245
Heavy crane rail is stocked in 39, 60 and 78 foot lengths and drilled
to the standards listed in the above table. Standard joint bars are
34" long and drilled to match.
In ordering to standard, simply specify the rail section and number
of 39, 60 and 78 foot lengths required, allowing for one short length
in each run to provide staggered joints. Specify number of pairs
of matching joint bars, special heat-treated machine bolts and
spring washers. Where crane runway installations require special rail
and joint bar lengths, or special drilling, L.B. Foster shops are well
equipped to fabricate to meet your exact requirements. In ordering,
specify drilling (including required dimensions A through H in the
table above) and lengths of rail and joint bars.

Crane Stops, Hook Bolts and Rail Clamps
Crane stops are welded and shaped steel plates, prefabricated in sizes to fit all crane rail and “tee” rail sections,
and conform to standard crane wheel diameters. They are easy to handle and install: just fit over the rail, insert
filler blocks and bolt through rail web.
L.B. Foster stocks all prefabricated components for fast, accurate assembly to your specifications, and for
very prompt deliveries. To order, simply specify rail section, elevation of holes above rail base and diameter of
crane wheels.
Design 400 Crane Stop
Design 401 Crane Stop
Design 403 Crane Stop
For use with rail
sections up to 85 lbs.
ASCE, this stop is an
excellent choice for
applications involving light to medium
weight cranes. The
400 design can be ordered as shown or
produced to a specific wheel contour.
The design 401 stop
is self-tightening, adjustable, and does not
require drilling of the
rail. The configuration
shown can be used
on sections from 60
lbs. ASCE up to 135 lbs. crane rail. When
required, this design can be modified for
use with 171 lbs. and 175 lbs. crane rail.
This stop features
a two-piece design
and can be produced
to work with all rail
sections. The configuration shown is for 175
lbs. crane rail. The 403
stop is your best choice for all heavy-duty
applications.

Hook Bolt Drilling
Where rail is to be installed with hook bolts, L.B. Foster will drill to your specifications. Bolts are installed in pairs as shown in the diagram and spaced
according to capacity of crane.
You can get every item needed for crane runway installations in complete
package shipments when you order from L.B. Foster Company.
Spacing
Note: For medium capacity and special crane runway or industrial installations, refer
to the New and Relay Rail section for “tee” rail sections from 12 lb. through 132 lb., to
A.S.C.E. and AREMA specifications.
Hook Bolts
L.B. Foster Hook Bolts are used to fasten crane rail securely to its supporting member.
They are bolted through rail web, installed in pairs with alternating hooks reversed, and
spaced according to capacity of crane. L.B. Foster can furnish hook bolts in any size,
shape or length to meet each individual requirement.
L.B. Foster shops are specially equipped for fast, top quality production of hook bolts
in any quantity. Facilities provide hot and cold bending to any shape, SAE and special
threading and heat treating. Bar stock is carefully specified and adequately carried in all
diameters from 1/2" through 1 1/2" to assure prompt deliveries.
When you order, specify section of crane rail, size and weight of member supporting rail
(and size of cover plate or filler plate, if these are used). Also specify diameter of hook bolts,
elevation of holes above base of rail and bolt spacing.
Crane Rail Clamps
Clamps are designed for use with standard, heavy crane rail sections. They are furnished
in sets, consisting of a Clamp Plate and Filler Plate, installed opposite each other, and
spaced according to capacity of crane. In ordering, specify rail section and number of sets
required.

rail clip mechanically traps crane rail pad beneath the rail
adjustment by a long slotted hole with base and upper component having a sloping/tightening interlocking action
•
cam adjustment locks rail in position laterally even when all clip
parts are soaked in oil and grease and the bolts are torqued to
only 25 ft. lbs.
•
rail clip bolts must be fully torqued for the clip to develop full
lateral resistance

Steel Reinforced Crane Rail Pad
The pad is manufactured from wear resistant synthetic elastomer
which is unaffected by oil, grease, ozone and exposure to
ultraviolet light. The pad incorporates bonded steel strip which is
encapsulated in the synthetic elastomer. Molyneux steel reinforced
pad is for heavy duty crane applications.
Specifications
Features & Use
•
Reduces noise and structural vibration
•
Reduces rail wear and fatigue stresses
•
Reduces crane runway maintenance
•
Reduces stress in the runway structure and the crane
•
Pad thickness:
9/32”
•
Totally resistant to water, oil, grease, mildew and fungus
•
Shore hardness:
75 durometer plus or minus 5
•
•
Shore hardness after aging: 75 durometer plus or minus 5
Absorbs the uneven contact between the rail and the supporting
structure
•
Temperature range:
-40° F to +212° F
•
•
Ultimate tensile strength:
2500 psi
Protects the crane mechanism and increases wheel, bearing,
and axle life

30%
•
•
Elongation:
250%
Eliminates wear grooving of the rail on the runway due to fretting
corrosion
•
•
Permanent set:
5%
Distributes the wheel load over a larger surface area, reducing
high local bearing stresses
•
Has a high recovery rate to dampen each wheel pass and to
resist permanent deformation
•
Available for all rail sizes
The use of welded rail joints is recommended when using
crane rail pad.
