Crane Runway RailSurvey the alignment of your crane rails Konecranes RailQ Runway Survey is an industry-leading rail analysis. It delivers accurate alignment information of your rail and expert recommendations for corrective action. Cranes should travel or track along their runway rails with a minimum of skew and without binding. Improper tracking leads to premature wheel and rail wear, resulting in costly repairs and downtime, as well as inefficient and suboptimal crane operation. Crane girder, runway and monorail beam analysis and design software. CRM-Beam helps Engineers and designers select efficient sections for the crane projects. Crane and Runway Systems.

Crane Beam Design Software: Honor Award - By MODERN STEEL CONSTRUCTION, AISC Publication, August 1998 'THE BEST CRANE RUNWAY BEAM DESIGN SOFTWARE'. There are many reasons why a crane does not travel correctly on the runway: • Rail may be misaligned or worn • Clips may be missing • Pads may be worn • Runway structure is uneven, bent or twisted due to column settlement, overloads or impacts • Corrosion • Improper installation Improper tracking is normally investigated by performing a traditional runway survey. However, these surveys may result in days of costly downtime, and the results may not be accurate or clear and may not offer corrective actions. Konecranes RailQ Runway Survey uses a remotely operated robot combined with a visual inspection to provide you with an in-depth view of the alignment and condition of your crane rail. RailQ measurements include span, straightness, elevation and rail-to-rail elevation. RailQ can be performed on virtually any runway including those for overhead cranes, port cranes and woodyard cranes. The runway survey includes: • A visual inspection of the crane runway • Measurement of the alignment of your crane runway. Crane Runway Beam Design Software• Calculations based on measured data with proprietary analysis and visualization software • 3D and 2D visualizations of the runway rails • Identification of straightness, span or elevation issues Konecranes engineers review all collected data and provide recommendations for corrective actions. Benefits of RailQ • Requires less time than a traditional survey • Provides accurate information on the condition and alignment of the rail • Offers reliable results through the systematic application of technology by skilled people. A freestanding structure is floor supported and can be designed to fit virtually anywhere. These systems can be designed to top running and under hung runways along with monorail and enclosed track systems. Freestanding structural steel systems are often used if the building structure cannot support the additional load of the crane. These freestanding systems are designed without the use of any bracing. Freestanding systems can also be designed with column bracing which is braced back to the floor (knee braced structure) or with bracing that tie back to the building structure (semi-freestanding structure). Both the knee braced runway and semi-freestanding runway reduce the amount of steel being used making it a more cost effective system. In most freestanding structures, concrete footings may need to be installed to take the weight of the system.
