Crane Rail
Fastening Systems
INTRODUCTION
The ever growing demands by industry for increased automation and higher plant output rates resulted in the
development of generation after generation of higher speed, heavier duty modern bridge cranes. While
mechanical engineers concentrated their efforts on designing bigger and more efficient cranes, structural
engineers maintained an equivalent pace in improving crane girder, support structure and foundation designs.
Between these two fields of expertise lies the crane rail, which represents the hinge point of the installation.
Traditional rail mounting methods have, in general, not kept pace with the increasing demands made on them.
The result can be that this relatively inexpensive area, in terms of initial outlay and design, can cause
considerable operating expenses and problems. These problems manifest themselves by high wear rates in
wheels, bearings, axles and rails. High maintenance costs and significant down time are the ultimate result.
In the longer term, the impact and vibration transmitted to the girder structure and foundations result in structural
damage and possible girder failure due to fatigue.
FATIGUE
The area of contact between a steel rail and the top flange of a steel crane girder can be as little as one percent
of the projected area of the rail. Since both the rail and girder are stiff in compression, even heavy wheel loads
will not substantially increase the contact area, and very large local stresses result. To compound this problem,
these contact points are randomly distributed, leading to complex and indeterminate stress patterns in the
supporting girder. The continuously moving and shock loads, produced by the operations of the crane can result
in fatigue and consequent damage to both the crane rail and the girder. The most common manifestation is
cracking in the upper portion of the girder web.
Where rails are mounted on concrete, a similar rationale applies with resulting progressive disintegration of the
concrete and loosening of the hold down bolts.
CRANE RAIL MOUNTING

The GANTREX crane rail soft mounting systems have developed over 35 years in an effort to reduce the all too
frequent problems associated with crane rail installations. Todays line of mounting pads and clips are
sophisticated, proven and easy to install. They result in reduced mechanical wear, lower impact forces from
shock loading, less vibration and a quieter operation. These systems consist of steel reinforced, vulcanized,
synthetic rubber pads and resilient clips designed specifically for the mounting of crane rails in light, medium or
heavy duty applications.

FEATURES BENEFITS
Lateral adjustability Absorbs initial rail tolerances
Facilitates future re-railing & realignment
Positive lateral rail restraint Keeps pad fixed laterally
Ensures constant rail alignment
Reduces crane skewing effects
Self-locking When torqued to specified recommendation, bolts will never loosen
and are locked in place
Side thrust will never overcome frictional resistance of the self-locking
design
Synthetic nose permanently bonded to clip Prevents bolts from being overstressed from tension and fatigue,
upper component by absorbing the uplift of the rail due to the bow wave effect
Allows predictable, controlled longitudinal rail movement due to
temperature changes and normal crane acceleration and braking
Precompresses pad, resulting in intimate contact between the rail,
pad and girder, minimizing wear
RESILIENT PAD
FEATURES BENEFITS
Vulcanized synthetic rubber material of Resists wear, as well as oil & grease
construction Reduces noise
Eliminates indeterminate concentrated loads by compensating for
the uneven surfaces of the bottom of the rail & top of girder
Centers the wheel load to reduce flexural stresses in the girder
top flange-to-web connection
Allows controlled transverse mobility of the rail head, which reduces
stress levels during wheel flanging, and absorbs the angular
misalignment between rail head and wheel tread
Life expectancy of the pad is normally 2-3 times the rail life
Extends life of the rail, girder, crane wheels and bearings
Eliminates fretting corrosion between rail and girder top flange
Extends life of electrical components on the crane
Ribbed construction Gives the pad a double-angled load/deflection curve which allows
it to be pre-compressed by the rail clip but support high wheel loads
without resulting in high flexural stresses in the rail
Compression of the pad under the wheel load does not result in pad
elongation, instead, the grooves fill as the wheel load increases
Edge seals Prevents the ingress of dirt and water which can cause premature
failure of the pad, rail and support structure
Steel reinforcement Minimum 90% steel width prevents longitudinal tears typical in fiber
pads
Provides lateral rigidity, to prevent extrusion from under the rail
Stiffens the pad under heavy wheel loads to reduce bending stress
in the rail

MK 6 Pad
For Heavy Duty Rail Applications
GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS
The GANTREX MK 6 pad has been specially designed for the soft mounting of
crane rails. The main functions of the pad are to:
distribute the wheel load over a larger surface area - See Fig. 5
eliminate load concentrations and the resulting fatigue stresses - See Fig. 4
compensate for the uneven surface between the rail and its support
reduce impact, vibration and noise
eliminate fretting corrosion (wear) of the support surface under the rail.
The GANTREX Mark 6 pad fulfills these requirements in the following manner:
1) It is manufactured from a synthetic elastomer especially resistant to wear, shear and crushing as well as oil,
grease, ozone, and ultra violet rays.
2) Its upper face is grooved in order to obtain a variable stiffness see Load-Deflection Curve Fig. 1. This
increases the pads resistance to wear without introducing excessive bending stresses in the rail, as
explained below:
the reduction of pad thickness under the wheel load does not result in pad elongation (bulging) in the
direction transverse to the rail as would be the case with a plain pad. Here the thickness reduction results
in the filling of the grooves. Thus, there is practically no relative movement between rail and pad, again
minimizing wear.
as the grooves fill, the vertical stiffness of the pad increases and the bending stresses in the rail due to the
wheel load increase more slowly.
3) It is reinforced with a high strength galvanized steel strip that is at least 90% of the width of the pad and fully
vulcanized to the rubber. The reinforcement acts as a diaphragm and gives the pad lateral stiffness,
preventing it from deflecting under the side thrust of the rail, regardless of wheel load and loss of friction
from oil or grease.
4) Edge seals on both the top and bottom surfaces prevent the ingress of dirt and water which can cause
premature failure of the pad, rail and support structure.
5) It is manufactured by an extrusion process which eliminates problems commonly experienced with a batch
molding process such as variations in durometer, risk of contamination, pad straightness and centering of
the reinforcing steel. It also allows the pad to be extruded in longer lengths.

INSTALLATION RECOMMENDATIONS
GANTREX reinforced pad is recommended for all installations, both indoors and out. For each installation,
GANTREX will recommend the type of pad which best meets the service conditions. For best results,
GANTREX clips should also be used to prevent lateral movement of the rail.
The upper surface of the supporting structure should be clean and free from oil, grease and any sharp or
abrasive particles that are likely to damage the pad.
The pad should be laid in continuous lengths on the support surface, with the grooved side up, the ends butted
tightly together and centered at a pair of rail clips. It should be cut as needed to ensure that a joint does not
coincide with a gap between adjacent girders. Where possible, the joint should be not less than 3 ft from the
end of the girder. The minimum length of pad should be not less than ten feet. It should be centered beneath
the rail flange so that it is completely covered.
When pad is used, a laterally locking rail clip, such as Stelcam, Weldlok, or 3000 Series, shall be used. (Ref:

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
MK 6 PAD
GANTREX reinforced pad is recommended for all rail installations, both indoor and out. GANTREX can
recommend the pad best suited for a particular service condition. GANTREX rail clips should be used to prevent
lateral movement of the rail. Properly installed, they will ensure that the pad remains under the rail for optimum
performance.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
The upper surface of the supporting structure should be clean and free from oil, grease and any abrasive or
sharp particles that are likely to damage the pad.
The pad must be installed with the grooved side up.
Pad should be laid in continuous lengths on the support surface, with the ends butted tightly together.
Pad should be centered beneath the rail flange so that it is completely covered by the rail.
Pad joints should be at least 3 feet away from rail joints, adjacent girder joints or building expansion joints.
Pad is supplied in nominal 39-foot rolls. When using cut lengths of pad, care must be taken to ensure that the
cut piece is long enough to span at least four pairs of rail clips.
If the gap between adjacent girders or at expansion joints is greater than 3/4", pad stops are strongly
recommended. These should be 1/4" thick, U-shaped steel bars, welded at the ends of the girder.
Pad stops should also be considered at the ends of each runway where excessive longitudinal rail movement
relative to the girder or soleplate is expected. A typical detail is shown below.

GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS STELCAM SERIES
Stelcam Series
boltable patented clips
The GANTREX crane rail soft-mounting system consists of a range of synthetic rubber pads, which are laid
under the rail, and a range of resilient crane rail clips that locate the rail.
Individual data sheets on the various GANTREX pads and clips give details of the unique characteristics and
geometry of each product.
This general specification describes the boltable Stelcam series clips.

Weldable clips are described in the Weldlok series general specification sheet.
Pads are described in the MK6 and the MK2 pad specifications.
Other clips are described in the 3000 & 7000 Series General Specifications sheets.
All GANTREX Stelcam series patented clips are specifically designed for the mounting of crane rails, with or
without pad. A full range of bolt or stud-attached clips is available to the designer to optimize the economy as
well as the technical integrity of the installation.
All Stelcam clips consist of two interacting components that allow easy lateral rail adjustment and, once
correctly installed, are self-locking. A controlled vertical force is applied to the rail flange through a synthetic
rubber nose, which is vulcanize-bonded to the appropriate clip component. The true cam design ensures that
the force is transmitted to the fastener (bolt or stud) in the most efficient means possible and is completely
independent of friction.
All components are made from high-quality ductile cast iron (50,000 psi, minimum yield).

GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS 3000 SERIES
3000 Series
boltable clips
under the rail, and a range of resilient crane rail clips which locate the rail.
This general specification describes the 3000 series clips (high capacity, boltable).
Weldable clips are described in the Weldlok series general specification sheet.
The medium/light duty boltable clips are described in the Stelcam Series general specifications and data sheets.
Pads are described in the MK6 and the MK2 pad specifications.
All 3000 Series clips are specifically designed for the mounting of crane rails, with or without pad. The 3000
Series and Stelcam series offer a full range of bolt or stud-attached clips is available to the designer to optimize
the economy as well as the technical integrity of the installation.
All 3000 Series clips consist of two interacting components which allow easy lateral rail adjustment and, once
correctly installed, are self-locking. A controlled vertical force is applied to the rail flange through a synthetic
rubber nose, which is vulcanize-bonded to the appropriate clip component.
All components are made from high-quality ductile cast iron (50,000 psi, minimum yield).

3000 SERIES CLIPS

illustrated below:
TECHNICAL ADVANTAGES OF STELCAM CLIPS

Simple and positive lateral rail adjustment of up to 3/4 (20mm), depending on type of clip.
Self-locking and self-tightening features due to a system of double wedging components.
Very high resistance to lateral loads through careful selection of materials.
- accommodates rail and girder tolerances - ensures contact between rail and pad under the rail
- eliminates fatigue effects on attachment device - controls axial movement of broken rail
(bolt or stud) - eliminates loosening of bolts
Crane runway maintenance and down-time are minimized.
Noise and vibration are reduced.

See data sheet on specific clip series for details. All 3000 Series clips are available in various heights, with optional
STANDARD CLIPS
Only standard 3000 Series clips are shown in this catalog. Other versions of this series are available to meet

Girder Tie-Back
Linkage Assemblies
A common area of failure with active crane runways is the crane girder to building column connection. The
Gantrex Tie-Back System is designed to provide a proven solution to this problem.
Spherical bearings allow girder end rotation, longitudinal and vertical movement without stressing the
tie-back linkage.
A single linkage can transmit up to a 165 kip side thrust in tension or compression.
Sizes are available to fit any girder and column configuration.
The tie-back linkage assembly eliminates diaphragms and the associated maintenance from cracking.
Designed to suit.

GIRDER TIE-BACK LINKAGE ASSEMBLIES
GIRDER TIE-BACKS FATIGUE ISSUES
Girders to Building Column Tie-Backs are Prone to Fatigue Failure. The main causes of fatigue are depicted
below:
1.0
Girder deflections of L/1000 or other chosen allowable bending limit between the support columns causes
top flange compression. This deflection results in girder end rotation in the (Z) direction.
2.0
Side thrust of the crane generated by trolley movement, crane skewing, and imperfect rail alignment cause
girder end rotation in the (Y) direction.
3.0
Vertical loading of the crane directly above the girder column support will cause compression of this support
relative to the building column in the (X) direction.
Dynamic loading on the crane girders results in eventual fatigue failure of standard tie-backs in the three
axes (X,Y,Z). A flexible bearing tie-back is called for to eliminate this recurring problem. Please refer to the
following standard mounting brackets and sizing sections while completing the application data sheet.
-2-
TIE-BACK ASSEMBLY MOUNTING BRACKETS
The most common tie-back assembly configurations are illustrated below. Assembly 1 includes shim plates
at the column face connection to compensate for variations in the distance between the girder and column.
Assemblies 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 can be designed for either bolting or welding to the column.
GANTREX can normally design and fabricate custom assemblies based on one of our standard illustrated
configurations. If none of these standard assembly configurations are practical, GANTREX will develop a
special assembly to meet your specific application.

OLEO Hydraulic Bumpers
INTRODUCTION
Modern, heavy-duty production cranes have increased in size and speed over recent years. The hydraulic bumper
was developed to transform the cranes impact or kinetic energy into heat. The device brings the crane to rest in a
controlled manner minimizing end forces. This has rendered simple mechanical devices such as springs or rubber
bumpers obsolete on all but the lightest crane applications.
Several codes and standards have evolved that specifically identify the criteria for safely decelerating a moving crane
or transfer vehicle. Among these are AISE, CMAA, OSHA, DIN, CEM, etc. There has been a rapid development of
hydraulic bumpers with capacities and stroke lengths to meet the demands of increasing crane weights and speeds.
The hydraulic bumper is the most economic and reliable method for limiting the forces transmitted during an impact.
Structural engineers can now confidently evaluate the forces from longitudinal impact and utilize the hydraulic bumper
to reduce overall structural steel costs in a building.
FEATURES AND ADVANTAGES

The hydraulic bumper is a hydro-pneumatic energy absorber that utilizes a tapered metering pin to create a truly
variable orifice. Infinitely small increments of stroke or compression yield controlled changes in orifice size to provide
an almost constant end force. Unlike conventional fluidic piston head designs, full stroke is accomplished at any
speed, thereby further reducing end force.
A compressed nitrogen return spring is internal and is fully maintenance free. Its fatigueless design is more reliable
than any mechanical spring system and offers a soft ride down. Toward the end of stroke, isothermal compression of
the nitrogen increases rapidly to offer an effective cushion instead of hard mechanical bottoming-out as with
competitive designs. The primary seal is an outwardly sprung steel ring and works exactly the same way piston rings
work in an internal combustion engine. The steel ring contains the high pressures and the elastomer seals are
exposed to only low return pressures.
Flexible mounting configurations include back flange, front flange and capsule mount to be used with a custom foot
mounting bracket. Special bumper heads are available in larger diameters or radiuses to reduce edge contact
stresses in rotary applications. Crane end approach can be optimized by using front flange mounting to minimize the
projected length on the end truck.
Oleo has provided 6-8 times more heavy duty hydraulic bumpers throughout the world than any other manufacturer.
This high volume coupled with a practical range of bumper sizes guarantees very accurate tolerances. The resulting
interchangeability of parts allows fast assembly and repairs from components stocked at our Pittsburgh assembly
plant.

HYDRAULIC BUMPERS
OPERATING PRINCIPLE
The OIeo bumper is basically a large oil dashpot, incorporating a variable orifice, and the sectional illustration shows its
simple, heavy duty construction. Under impact, the plunger is forced into the cylinder displacing the oil through the orifice into
the plunger, moving the separator piston towards the bumper head and compressing the air (nitrogen). The bumper is re-
extended by the compressed air (nitrogen) acting through the separator piston onto the oil.
INDUSTRIAL BUMPER RANGE

OLEO Sample Calculations
BODIES IN MOTION
Kinetic Energy is associated with a body in motion. Newtons 1st Law of Motion states that a body will continue in motion
unless acted upon by a force. An Oleo Hydraulic Bumper will control the magnitude and duration of this force. Newtons 2nd
Law of Motion provides that the rate of change of motion is proportional to the force applied. An Oleo Hydraulic Bumper
ensures that the force applied is always the minimum required to produce the desired change in motion. Newtons 3rd Law of
Motion identifies that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. An Oleo Hydraulic Bumper controls the arresting
force and limits the reaction on the supporting structure. These principles are the foundation for understanding the benefits and
characteristics of a hydraulic energy absorber such as the Oleo Hydraulic Bumper.
KINETIC ENERGY
A body in motion, such as a crane, has kinetic energy that must be dissipated to bring it to rest. A hydraulic bumper produces
a resistive force over a displacement to dissipate the energy by converting work energy to thermal energy. The bumper forces
oil through a variable orifice to produce fluidic friction and therefore a resisting force.
The graph above on the right shows equal amounts of kinetic energy (represented by the area under the Force vs. Stroke
curve) being absorbed with different stroke lengths. As you can see, the more stroke, the lower the resistive force. This
resistive force is proportional to the rate of change of motion, or deceleration. Ultimately, the Oleo bumper governs the
magnitude of force transmitted to both the impacting body as well as the reaction force onto the support or fixed structure.
PROPELLING FORCES
In many applications, the body in motion is also being propelled. This propelling force is additive with the Kinetic Energy as it
acts through the displacement of the bumper. It is always important to determine whether or not the impacting body will be
propelled during the impact and to allow sufficient additional energy capacity. Not all design codes or references include
propelling forces, so it is the designers responsibility to determine when they should be considered.
BUMPER END FORCES AND THE DESIGNER

Oleo bumper end forces can be easily calculated and have been verified through extensive testing. For most applications, a
standard hydraulic bumper can be utilized to meet the requirements of typical safety codes. Often, the designer can select a
longer stroke bumper to further reduce the transmitted force generating a savings in the cost of structure and sometimes in the
machine itself. For applications with impacting speeds above 500 ft/min (2.5 m/sec) or special deceleration requirements,
please consult Gantrex for assistance.

Mounting Brackets
STANDARD BRACKETS
Gantrex hydraulic bumpers are extremely versatile with respect to mounting options. As shown in the individual
bumper data sheets, standard mounting flanges for Front or Rear mounting are most typical. Bolt pattern
and hole sizes are clearly shown in the drawings provided. Each standard mounting flange has an additional
hole to allow safety wire to be looped back from the bumper to the crane or supporting structure. If these
standard configurations do not suit your requirements, we are able to provide custom designed brackets or
flanges upon request. These custom designs include boltable and weldable styles.
FOOT MOUNTING BRACKETS
The following charts show standard configurations of weldable foot mounting brackets. These designs can be
easily modified to match your requirements.

CUSTOM BUMPER MOUNTING BRACKETS
SPECIAL DESIGNS
Custom brackets and fabrications are available to simplify mounting or retrofit of Gantrex hydraulic bumpers.
The mounting bracket can be designed to maximize the useful portion of your crane runway while maintaining
the required clearances around other cranes or end stops. The mounting plates can be designed to match
existing bolt holes to make installation easy. Bolt-in-place replacements streamline bumper installation
processes. We will provide an approval drawing and proposal for your evaluation. Contact GANTREX for
assistance. Some sample designs are shown below:

Small Hydraulic
Crane Bumpers
Gantrex small hydraulic crane bumpers have been specially

designed and configured to provide reliable, uniform
deceleration of moving equipment - at an affordable price.
The units are built with a threaded body and can be
arranged with rear or front mounting flange configurations.
The compact size and flexible mounting possibilities create
a truly adaptable energy absorber.
Gantrex bumpers can be sized to meet CMAA, AISE,

OSHA, DIN, FEM and many other standards for safety.
All models are made entirely in the United States of
America for highest quality and fastest delivery.
Efficient energy absorption is accomplished through a self-

compensating metering tube design. The crane bumper will
automatically adapt to variations in impacting weight and
speeds within the effective ranges shown below. Contact
GANTREX for application assistance.

storm bumpers
STORM BUMPER
Container cranes, gantry cranes and other rail mounted machines are often located in environments where the
danger from high winds or microbursts can cause serious safety problems. Sudden, high winds can propel a crane
along its runway until it impacts the end stops. Often the impact speed is considerably higher than the full load rated
travel speed of the crane. A storm bumper can offer protection for most container cranes at speeds up to 5 miles per
hour with limited bumper end force. Storm bumpers consist of one or more hydraulic bumpers mounted on the end
stops of the pier. A suitable striking surface on the crane leg or end truck engages the bumper.
Controlling impacts and reducing resultant damaging effects have historically been a problem in heavy crane
applications. OIeo hydraulic bumpers are efficient and effective energy absorbers that offer the following features:
Provide uniform deceleration and low end forces, with over 95% efficiency in energy absorption and
dissipation
Allow easy drive down for maximum end approach, through fatigueless gas spring return
Provide reliability and durability even in caustic or marine environments due to their heavy-duty, forged steel
construction
Are available in a full range of standard bumper sizes and configurations with energy capacity over
1,000,000 ft-lbs
Are warranted for one year

OLEO STORM BUMPERS
OPERATING PRINCIPLE
The Oleo bumper is basically a large oil dashpot,
incorporating a variable orifice, and the sectional
illustration shows its simple, heavy duty construction.
Under impact, the plunger is forced into the cylinder
displacing oil through the orifice into the plunger, moving
the separator piston towards the bumper head and
compressing the air (nitrogen) to a higher pressure. The
compressed air (nitrogen) acting through the separator
piston on to the oil forms the recoil spring to re-extend
the bumper plunger.
STORM BUMPER SELECTION EXAMPLE

Container Crane Total Weight = 2,700,000 lbs
Maximum Allowable End Force Per Corner = 330,000 lbs
Protect the Crane at up to 5 mph
Impact Weight Per Corner = 1/2 (Total Crane Weight)
= 1,350,000 lbs
Impact Weight Per Corner can be greater than the above. Sometimes this can be as much as 60% of total crane
weight. In the Engineering Data table below, look in the Maximum Impact Weight Per Corner column, under the
desired speed, for the calculated Impact Weight Per Corner. In this example, we have 1,350,000 lbs and the Storm
Bumper Model SB-6 at 5 mph is rated for up to 1,392,952 lbs. Therefore, this is an acceptable solution. Now, we can
calculate the Kinetic Energy per corner as follows:
= 1/2 (Impact Weight / 32.2) x (Speed x 1.467)2

Kinetic Energy Per Corner at 5 mph = 1/2 (1,350,000 lbs / 32.2) x (5 mph x 1 .467)2
= 1,127,841 ft-lbs
(Kinetic Energy)
Actual End Force Per Corner at 5 mph = -----------------------------
(Efficiency) x (Stroke)

Series 110
Hydraulic Bumpers
INTRODUCTION
Modern industrial applications where the bumper is installed primarily as an
emergency stop are the intended applications for the 110 series bumpers. These
devices bring the crane to a stop in a controlled manner. The long strokes minimize
end forces on the building as well as on the crane.
PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
Upon impact, the plunger displaces oil through orifices in the metering tube, into
the reservoir. The size and position of these orifices can be varied to suit different
mass ranges. Plunger return is achieved by a gas spring recoil system. During
production, the gas spring is inflated with nitrogen gas and sealed for the life of the
bumper.
The bumper is designed with low static resistance. Under slow closure, the low
resistance allows the shock absorber plunger to be driven in, thus maximizing
runway approaches.
The shock absorbers can be supplied with options such as safety cables, bellows,
low and high temperature seals, marine plating for outdoor use, to suit a range of
requirements.
INSTALLATION METHODS
Standard mounting methods include front flange mounting, front foot with rear
flange and front and rear feet. The two smaller units can also be supplied with
standard rear flanges.
In addition, special brackets can be supplied, based on a customers needs,

allowing for all sizes to be converted to rear mount or any other special mounting
arrangement. These can be supplied fabricated and pre-assembled to the bumper.
Please consult Gantrex for details.

High Performance
Polyurethane Bumpers
INTRODUCTION
Medium and light duty maintenance and production cranes are often purchased
based on CMAA and OSHA codes. While it is always better practice to use
hydraulic bumpers on cranes, to allow maximum energy dissipation, in certain
cases, polyurethane bumpers can provide an economic and viable alternative.
These can be selected to meet the deceleration requirements specified by the
code and will provide years of service without maintenance or deterioration.
FEATURES AND ADVANTAGES
The shock-absorbing element of the Galvi bumper consists of a polyurethane resin

with a special micro-cellular structure, which provides excellent energy absorption
during impact. This element can be compressed to 25% of its free length to absorb
the energy with a resultant increase in diameter of only 40%.
The bumper can be mounted to the crane or end-stop structure by means of a stud
arrangement or a square rear flange with four bolt-holes. An internal steel chain is
provided in each bumper as a safety device, to prevent damage to surroundings or
injury to personnel in the event of a catastrophic impact.
The energy capacity of the bumpers varies with impact speed. The bumper will
absorb more energy at a higher speed with the same stroke. Gantrex recommends
that bumpers be selected based on a maximum deflection of 50% of its free
length. This will minimize end-force and still leave the bumper with an adequate
reserve to absorb additional energy.
The elastic element is made of an anti-aging material with resistance to

mechanical wear, oil, grease and gasoline. The structure is homogeneous and
self-extinguishing.

The Panzerbelt Cable Protection System.

"Panzerbelt " is a patented system Yesterday: hinged metal plates
developed by Specimas in the mid-70s, with
the aim of giving an efficient and economic
protection to power cables against damages
and problems caused by the increasing cross
traffic in ports and terminals.
The more than 250 installations at work

today (2002) around the world, since the
first Panzerbelt was put in operation back
in 1976 in the Port of Leghorn, Italy, prove
that the system is the right solution.
Panzerbelt withstands cross traffic of all

of any nature from entering into the channel.
It gives the highest degree of cable
protection without the need of maintenance.

Panzerbelt - a unique system.

The Panzerbelt System is covered by
several patents and registration
certificates. Still, as it usually happens
with any innovative and successful
product, imitations have recently appeared
on the market. Here we can only say that
the wealth of technology and experience
put in the Panzerbelt System cannot
easily be copied. Take for example the
belt, the most important component of the
Panzerbelt cable protection system. It
consists of 13 layers of different materials,
including a double layer of steel and
textile cord, vulcanized together at very
high temperature and pressure.
The double layer of steel cord makes the

belt rigid in the transversal direction, and
flexible in the longitudinal direction. This
is of fundamental importance for the
trouble-free operation of the system. The
pictures below show an original
Panzerbelt installation followed by the
installation of a belt imitation.
The picture proves the difference between the original

Panzerbelt and a belt imitation which shows early
signs of severe belt deterioration.

Cable Reels to Panzerbelt.
The Panzerbelt system described in this

catalogue is a vital component of the cable
management program developed by
Specimas since 1963. Cable Reels
manufactured by Cavotec Specimas are
today at work in a number of ports,
terminals, mines, tunnels and industries all
over the world. The range of Cavotec
Specimas motorised cable reels has been
enlarged to cover almost any application
and requirement. Here we give some basic
information about the Cavotec Specimas
cable reels. A specific publication on the
cable reels technology is available on
request.
Motorised cable reels are mainly divided

in applications for Horizontal and
Vertical Reeling, and a distinction is
made for Intermittent Duty or Continuous
Duty applications.
For Intermittent Duty applications

Cavotec Specimas normally uses the
Hydrodynamic System, which is
particularly suitable for these applications
due to its simplicity and high reliability.
Compact design, even torque output in
reeling and unreeling mode, standard
motor and low maintenance are some of
the features of this system. More than
50.000 units have been produced by
Cavotec Specimas in almost 40 years.
Typical complete system supplied by Cavotec,

composed of "Pull & Store" cable reel, flexible
cable and Panzerbelt .

For Continuous Duty applications Cavotec

Specimas uses the new family of T-series gear-
boxes, which can be used with several drive
systems of which the frequency inverter -CDC-
is the most popular. In order to optimise costs
and technique, Cavotec Specimas uses different
drive systems for different applications and
sizes.

Adhesive Anchor Bolts
For Crane Rail on Concrete Applications
INTRODUCTION
A Gantrex Anchor Bolt is a resin set anchor. It is installed by drilling a hole in the concrete deck, filling the hole
with polyester resin, which acts as an adhesive, suspending a bolt in the resin and allowing the resin to cure, to
complete the process. Unlike anchors using epoxy based resin, Gantrex anchors can be placed in temperatures as
low as 10F.
The bolt itself is an all-thread steel rod, complete with a nut and a washer. Bolts can be supplied in different
diameters and lengths. The polyester-based resin supplied in US quart cans, can be poured directly from the
container, into the hole.
MATERIALS
Anchor Bolt
Material: A36: Fy (min) = 36,000 psi Ft (min) = 58,000 psi
B7: Fy (min) = 105,000 psi Ft (min) = 125,000 psi
Finish: Zinc plated or hot dipped galvanized.
Freight classification: Class 50
Polyester-based resin
Packaging: Supplied in US quart cans, four cans per carton.
Freight classification: Resin Solution, Class 3, UN 1866, Packing Gp. lll.
Catalyst
Packaging: Supplied in pill bottle type containers, four per carton, packaged separately.
Freight classification: Organic Peroxide, Type D solid (Dibenzoyl Peroxide,50%)5.2, UN 3106, Packing Gp. ll.
PLACEMENT PROCEDURE
Holes are air-drilled in concrete deck, using a soleplate as template. The drilled holes are 1/8 greater in
diameter, than the anchor bolt diameter. These holes are cleaned to remove dust and debris.
One container of catalyst is added to one can of polyester resin and mixed in the can for 60 seconds to 90
seconds. The mixture is poured into the hole, to about one third the depth. The anchor bolt is suspended from the
soleplate, and placed in the resin in the hole. The resin cures and sets in about 1 hour. The anchor must not be
disturbed during this time. Full cure occurs in 24 hours.
SUGGESTED EMBEDMENT
It is important that anchor bolts are embedded to a proper depth to achieve adequate strength. In 5 ksi concrete,
for example, we suggest that A36 anchor bolts be embedded to at least 8 times their diameter (a 3/4 rod will
require an embedded length of at least 6). This is adequate to achieve enough bond with the concrete such that, in
a pullout test, the anchor bolt will yield before the bond with the concrete. Similarly, the suggested embedment for
B7 bolts is 12 times the bolt diameter.

HOW TO SPECIFY AND ORDER

1. To specify and order a Gantrex adhesive anchor bolt assembly, determine the correct diameter and
length.
2. Determine correct part number from the above table and notes. For example, AB 1x14-A36G would
be the part number for a 1 x 14 long, diameter bolt of A36 material, with one nut and one washer,
all hot dipped galvanized.
3. If substrate temperature is likely to be below 45F, at time of actual installation, please double the
quantity of catalyst, at time of order placement.
While the steel hardware can be shipped at any time, due to the nature of the resin/catalyst
system, it is recommended that the adhesive be shipped 3-4 weeks prior to actual installation.
GANTREX reserves the right to discontinue or change specifications at any time without prior notice and without incurring
any obligation whatsoever.

K3 Epoxy Grout
DESCRIPTION:
GANTREX Epoxy Grout is a self-leveling, readily pourable, 100% solids epoxy grout consisting of
epoxy resin, hardener and carefully graded aggregate.
ADVANTAGES:
High early strengths
Aggregate content can be field-modified
Low resin crystallization temperature
Excellent flow characteristics
Possible to clean tools/equipment with water/soap solution, prior to set
Available in economic 3 cubic foot units for high volume applications
User friendly packaging
APPLICATIONS:
GANTREX Epoxy Grout may be used where a pourable, non-shrink, chemical-resistant, high-
strength grout is required. Typical applications include ports, shipyards, crushers, pulp and paper
machinery, compressors and refinery equipment.
SURFACE PREPARATION AND FORMING:
All concrete surfaces must be sound, dry, free of all oil, dirt, grease, laitance and other foreign
matter. Prepare the surface to be grouted by mechanical means to remove all contaminants and
weak surface material. All surfaces should be dry prior to grouting. Wood or metal forms may be
used. Forms must be leak free. The contact surfaces of the forms should be coated with two coats of
common paste wax to prevent bonding. Exercise care to ensure that the paste wax does not
contaminate any surface that requires bonding. Control joints vary by application - consult your
GANTREX representative.
MIXING AND PLACING:
Condition all grout components to 70F (21C), prior to mixing.
For the 1cf unit (28.3 liter), add the hardener (Part "B") to the base resin (Part "A"). Mix the
combined resin and hardener using a low speed paddle mixer for two to three minutes. Pour the
thoroughly mixed resin and hardener into a clean mortar mixer and add the aggregate while it is in
motion. Mix for approximately one additional minute ensuring that all the aggregate is thoroughly
wetted. When using a mortar mixer, mix three 1 cf units at the same time. For quantities less than
three cubic feet, use a galvanized 25 gallon, flat bottomed can or pail.
-1-
GANTREX K3 EPOXY GROUT
MIXING AND PLACING (contd):
For the 3cf unit (84.9 liter), place the resin (Part "A") into a clean mortar mixer and add the
hardener (Part "B"), while the mixer is in motion. Mix for two to three minutes. Add the aggregate
while the mixer is in motion. Mix for approximately two additional minutes ensuring that all the
aggregate is thoroughly wetted. Do not over-mix.
All grout should be placed within 30 minutes.
It is important that grout be poured only from one side of the soleplate (or base plate) to avoid air
entrapment under the plate. If for any reason this is not possible, please consult GANTREX for air
relief hole locations.
Consult your GANTREX representative when either a plastic mix or a high flow mix is required. (Do
not alter the mix proportions without consulting GANTREX)
PRECAUTIONS:
Gantrex epoxy grout must be placed on dry surfaces only.
Avoid exposure to water for 24 hrs after placement.
Do not reduce the aggregate content without consulting Gantrex.

The minimum temperature required for curing Epoxy Grout is 50F (10C). For pours at
temperatures lower than 50F or higher than 105F (40C) and/or depths greater than 4" (100mm),
please consult GANTREX.
CLEAN UP:
Clean all tools, equipment and spills with a water/soap solution, prior to set. Dispose of all containers
and packaging in accordance with local rules and regulations. For mortar mixer clean up, please
consult GANTREX.
SHELF LIFE:
Shelf life of GANTREX Epoxy Grout is 2 years if liquid containers are hermetically sealed and stored
in normal heated warehouse conditions.
CAUTION:
In case of skin contact, scrub affected area thoroughly with soap and water. In case of eye contact,
flush with water for 15 minutes and immediately consult your local physician. Use eye goggles and
rubber gloves while working with epoxy grout. Avoid inhaling fumes. Provide adequate ventilation.
Do not smoke while working with epoxy grout. Read product material safety data sheets before
using product.

GANTREX NON-SHRINK GROUT (PRE-MIX)
APPLICATION SURFACE PREPARATION:
All surfaces that will be in contact with the grout must be clean and free of grease, oil standing water,
laitance, loose material or any other contaminant that could impair substrate bond. Prior to grouting,
foundation concrete should be roughened, cleaned and thoroughly wetted down for 12 hours. Free
standing water should be blown clear just prior to grouting using oil free compressed air.
Forms must be rigid and water tight. Construct them with sides one to two inches above the base
plate allowing a head of grout to flow to the proper level. Vent high points to permit the escape of
entrapped air. Grout must be placed from one side only and allowed to flow to opposite form. Use only
a minimum amount of water, consistent with flowability required. Do not exceed 1.06 gal of water per
25kg bag of grout (4.0L 25kg. bag). Mix thoroughly and place within an hour of mixing. Keep grout
agitated in mixer at all times. As the grout sets, cure exposed surfaces with Gantrex Acrylic Cure &
Seal or damp burlap.
Ideal grouting temperature is 50 77 F (10 C to 25 C)
Cooler temperatures will retard the rate of strength gain in all mixes. Keep surrounding concrete and
contact steel above 40 F (4.5 C) for at least 72 hours after completion of grout pour.
MIXING AND PLACING:
Gantrex Non-Shrink grout may be pumped or poured in place. In all cases, no foreign materials are to
be added without first contacting your Gantrex technical representative. The following is to be used as
a guide.
