Turnkey Crane Runway Manufacturing
The manufacturing of a crane runway begins with an engineering design that takes into account the crane type, required lifting capacity, runway length, operating duty, and the condition of the building's supporting structure. A crane runway is far more than a rail mounted on a beam—it is a precisely engineered structural system that directly affects safe crane travel, the loads transferred to the building, wheel service life, operating noise, and the smooth handling of suspended loads.
We provide complete engineering design and turnkey construction of crane runways, including structural and strength calculations, assessment of existing supporting structures, selection of the appropriate rail type, and the design of runway girders, rail pads, rail clips, and all required fastening and anchoring components. Every solution is developed to suit the specific operating conditions, ensuring compatibility with the actual load requirements, installation constraints, and future needs for runway alignment, adjustment, and maintenance.
Engineering Design and Structural Analysis
Before manufacturing begins, it is essential to determine the loads that will act on the crane runway and how these loads will be transferred to the building structure. The assessment includes the load-bearing capacity of the building, support spacing, the condition of columns, anchoring methods, dynamic loads generated during crane travel, and the crane's operating duty. For new buildings, the runway design is developed in coordination with the overall building design, while for existing facilities, the actual condition of the supporting structure must be carefully evaluated.
The engineering design also includes the selection of the appropriate girder profiles, rail type, joints, and anchoring components. A properly engineered crane runway helps prevent excessive deflection, vibration, uneven wheel wear, and alignment issues. As a result, the entire crane system can operate safely, efficiently, and reliably over the long term.
Production of crane beams
Crane runway girders are manufactured in accordance with the project documentation and structural calculations, which define their profile, dimensions, load-bearing capacity, and method of support within the building structure. Precision manufacturing is essential, with particular attention paid to weld quality, connection details, and the fabrication of rail pads, rail clips, and fastening components required for the subsequent installation of the crane rails.
The girders can be supplied complete with a protective surface coating and prepared for the installation of additional components such as the power supply system, conductor rails, or cable festoon systems. A properly manufactured girder must provide stable support for the crane rail, safely transfer operational loads, and enable accurate installation of the entire runway while maintaining the required alignment and geometry.
Výroba kolejnic a montáž dráhy
Kolejnice pro jeřábové dráhy dodáváme podle předepsaného typu, zatížení a způsobu provozu. Zajišťujeme jejich přesné řezání, vrtání otvorů, přípravu spojů a podle potřeby také další úpravy pro konkrétní montážní situaci. Kolejnice se instalují na připravené nosníky tak, aby bylo dodrženo požadované rozpětí, výšková poloha a směrové vedení dráhy.
Po montáži je nezbytné provést měření a rektifikaci. Právě přesnost osazení rozhoduje o tom, zda bude jeřáb jezdit plynule, bez nadměrného namáhání kol a bez zbytečných rázů do konstrukce. I menší odchylky mohou v dlouhodobém provozu způsobovat zvýšené opotřebení a častější potřebu oprav.
Installation for New and Existing Facilities
We manufacture and install crane runways for both new industrial buildings and the modernization of existing facilities. In new projects, the runway can be designed as an integral part of the complete crane system. For existing buildings, we often assess options for strengthening the supporting structure, replacing runway girders, installing new crane rails, or modifying the support arrangement to meet current operational requirements.
Our goal is to deliver a technically sound solution that is safe, precisely engineered, and designed for long-term, reliable operation. Whether you require a new crane runway, an assessment of an existing supporting structure, or a runway designed to accommodate a new crane installation, we will develop the most appropriate solution based on the actual conditions and operational requirements of your facility.
Installation Procedure and Future Maintenance
During the planning phase, we also address the installation procedure, site accessibility, integration with the customer's production schedule, and the feasibility of planned shutdowns. Crane runways are often installed in facilities where prolonged production downtime is not practical, making it essential to carefully plan logistics, component transportation, girder handling, and safe access for installation personnel. Thorough installation planning helps minimize delays and reduces the risk of errors during the assembly and alignment of the individual components.
Future maintenance is another key consideration. From the initial design stage, it is important to ensure easy access for the inspection of joints, crane rails, anchoring components, end stops, power supply systems, and other parts that are subject to regular operational loads. A properly designed and manufactured crane runway simplifies ongoing maintenance, extends the service life of the equipment, and helps ensure safe and reliable operation even under intensive use. This is particularly important in continuous production environments.
