Rails and Tracks

---

The running track for these equipments must be slightly rough, in order to give a good grip (suitable for motorised traversing)to the wheels, which are covered with synthetic "semi-rigid" material. Normally, this surface is made of concrete.

The width of the track on the corners is very important; infact, a narrow track, would cause loss of time, owing to the manoeuvres necessary to carry the equipment to its working position.

I t is also important to provide an area where the equipment can be parked when not in use and maintenance (either ordinary or special) can be carried out more easily.

In this site, an earth wire (50mmq minimum) must be connected to the equipment in order to prevent it from being damaged by atmospheric discharges.

The railway system allows to load the below piers with the static and dynamic weight of the equipments when the roofline is not suitable.

Small ball-bearing center plates for traverse rails enable top rotate that part of rail near the corner of the building, making it possible also change direction of 90° without moving the lower frame the result is a considerable reduction of the space necessary to the curve.
