Crane rails
Crane railsCrane rails
Among the different types of crane rails, Burbach rails stand out. The name comes from a rolling mill in the German town, which shares the same name. Today, the name is transcribed in various ways, Burback or Burbak. Regardless of the spelling, the characteristics of the rails are unchanged; they are designed specifically for the use and functionality of cranes and other lifting systems.
Railway rails

Rails with a weight above Kg. 30/mt. are generally classified as train rails, they are used mainly for Train tracks but used also as crane rails, when there are not specific performance requirements, they can provide satisfactory any results.
The Technical Cards present Train rails rolled, mainly, according to UIC, DIN, ASCE, JIS standards.
Light rails (Decauville)

Rails with a weight from kg.7/ to kg.30/mt. are generally classified as Light (Dacauville) rails, they could also be used as crane rails for specific and less demanding installations. Light rails are mainly usede in idustries, Tunneling and Mining for basic tracks. The Technical Cards cover most type of available light rails rolled according to DIN, ASCE and JIS standards.
Clips

Clips are the main components, along with Pads, Sole-Base Plates & Foundation Bolts which bond the rail to a steel or concrete base. They are also defined fastening systems. The choice of clip type, either for crane rails, railway and light (Decauville) rails is a critical decision both when installing a track or a single rail.

Touring underground mine networks offers unexpected and exciting views of structures created by nature which have remained hidden for centuries. Over the past ten years, the growing interest and investment in this form of tourism has generated an important demand for tourist trains, diesel or electric, to enable the visiting of underground mines.
