Crane rail analysis and geometry survey

Industry-leading rail analysis

If your crane is experiencing excessive wear on wheels and rails, has broken wheel flanges, or you’re frequently replacing bridge couplings and axles – you may need to take a deeper look at rail alignment.

Is your crane traveling correctly on the runway?

Cranes should travel or track along their runway rails with a minimum of skew and without binding. Improper tracking leads to premature wheel and rail wear, resulting in costly repairs and downtime, as well as inefficient and suboptimal crane operation.

There are many reasons why a crane does not travel correctly on the runway:

  • Rail may be misaligned or worn
  • Clips may be missing
  • Pads may be worn
  • Runway structure is uneven, bent or twisted due to column settlement, overloads or impacts
  • Corrosion
  • Improper installation

Improper tracking is normally investigated by performing a traditional runway survey. However, these surveys may result in days of costly downtime, and the results may not be accurate or clear and may not offer corrective actions.
