Crane Rail Welding

Since its introduction to the industry in the mid 1980's, electric flash-butt welding has become the standard method of joining sections of crane rail to make continuous runways that support both overhead cranes and ground-based container cranes.  The strong, continuous welded rail produced is free of foreign material and mechanical joints, two contributing factors to uneven wear and premature failure.  Our high-production method of welding crane rail provides a running surface for cranes that minimizes wheel and wheel-bearing maintenance while maximizing ride quality for both the crane operator and expensive, precious lading.

Our flash-butt welding equipment is capable of working quickly and efficiently in high-elevation, limited access applications.  With the ability to produce welds in a fraction of the time of other welding methods, we offer a high-quality welding service.  The value of flash-butt welding is easily identified in the initial speedy cost of installation, the reassurance that costly derailments due to failed joints will be avoided, and greatly reduced maintenance costs.
