Camlok lifting clamps are the most suited clamps to use for all UK rail track currently in use. The clamps are suitable for lifting beams, rail tracks and other sections of track. The range of Camlok clamps have been designed to lift in a secure and safe way. Currently Camlok offer a wide range of clamps suitable for the rail industry.
CR – Single Rail Clamp
This clamp is designed with a narrow profile which enables safe attachment to individual rail that is stacked side by side with other rails. Once the clamp is positioned it is locked onto the rail-head by using a lever operated spring mechanism. If the rail track is of a longer length then these clamps should be suspended from a lifting beam to operate at full potential.
RP – Rail Pulling Clamp
A rail pulling clamp fits almost most rail sections. This clamp is designed to be used when positioning rail sections. It has a screw shaft mechanism which is used to attach the clamp to the web of the rail. At the end of the screw shaft are hardened steel circular teeth and the opposing pad also has hardened circular steel teeth for a strong grip.
The shaft is supported on a bearing that allows a high degree of angular movement. When a lateral load is applied to the clamp, the pad rotates in a cam action and securely grips the rail web securely and safely.
