Patented Track Crane Systems

Patented track is an engineered type of beam that is specifically designed for underhung crane operation and is stronger, more durable, and more consistent than a traditional I-beam.

Patented track systems are designed for light loads (20 tons and below) and long spans. These systems are heavily used in the aviation industry, manufacturing processes where loads must be transferred from crane to crane, and in complex monorail systems designed with curves, switches, rotary switches, and track openers.

On a patented track beam, the lower rail section of the beam where the wheels make contact, is made from specially rolled high-carbon steel for added strength and rigidity. The rail also has a raised tread design that wears evenly and will not peen, or bend, like a standard I-beam will. This allows for added strength and dependability because the rated capacity of the track is not affected by wear.
