Crane Rail Pads

Cold Forge supplies Molyneux pads to optimise crane runway efficiency, reduce maintenance, and enhance safety across industrial projects.

1. Steel Reinforced Crane Rail Pads

Designed for heavy-duty crane runway applications, these pads combine wear-resistant synthetic elastomer with a bonded steel strip for enhanced durability.

• Continuous rail support for even load distribution.

• High resistance to oil, grease, UV exposure, and temperatures from -40°C to +100°C.

• Reduces noise/vibration by up to 48% and extends rail/ structure lifespan by absorbing uneven contact.

• Compatible with welded rail joints and Molyneux camadjustable clips for optimal performance.

2. Moderate Duty Crane Rail Pads

Ideal for lighter crane wheel loads, these pads use the same elastomer-steel composite but with adjusted specs:

• Thinner profile (7mm vs. 9/32”) and lower tensile strength (11N/mm²).

• Temperature range: -20°C to +100°C.

• Key benefits: Reduces maintenance, protects against fretting corrosion, and distributes wheel loads evenly.

• Best paired with Molyneux cam-adjustable clips for secure rail retention.

3. Intermittent Crane Rail Pads

Engineered for discontinuously supported rails, these pads address unique installation challenges:

• Discrete support for rails mounted on individual soleplates or mixed concrete/steel structures.

• Prevents pad displacement with front/back lips designed to fit over soleplates.

• Material resilience: Resists shear, crushing, and environmental stressors while maintaining structural integrity.
