Crane Rail Soleplates

Cold Forge is proud to supply Molyneux’s innovative soleplate solutions, designed to optimise crane runway systems’ efficiency and longevity.

1. Custom Designed Soleplate Systems

Molyneux offers tailor-made soleplate systems specifically designed for ground crane rail systems supported by concrete.

These systems cater to various configurations, including continuously supported rails and those on individual or discontinuous supports.

Key features include:

• Versatility: Suitable for diverse applications, including cross-over rail systems and rail expansion joints.

• Adjustable Solutions: A wide array of adjustable rail clips ensures a customised fit for each project.

• Levelling Systems: Options for longitudinal and lateral levelling are available, utilising either beneath or above the soleplate methods with levelling bolts.

2. Steel Reinforced Crane Rail Pads

These pads provide continuous support for heavy-duty crane runway applications.

They feature:

• Durability: Constructed from wear-resistant synthetic elastomer with a bonded steel strip, ensuring longlasting performance even under heavy loads.

• Noise and Vibration Reduction: Effectively dampens noise and minimises structural vibration, enhancing operational efficiency.

• Protection Against Environmental Factors: Resistant to oil, grease, UV exposure, and other harsh conditions, contributing to lower maintenance needs.

3. Individual Pedestal Support Systems

Designed for applications where rails require intermittent support.

These systems include:

• Custom Solutions: Tailored designs to accommodate specific project requirements while ensuring stability and reliability.

• Enhanced Load Distribution: Distributes wheel loads evenly across the supporting structure, reducing stress on both the rail and the crane system.

4. Anchoring Solutions

Molyneux provides a variety of anchoring options to secure soleplates to concrete supports effectively:

• Shear Connections and Anchor Rods: Options include fully threaded anchor rods and holding down bolts, ensuring strong connections that withstand operational forces.

• Grouting Products: A selection of epoxy, resin, and cement-based grouts complements the soleplate systems, enhancing stability and performance.
