simple manual adjustment system allows the mechanism to be set for lifting rails with foot widths from 136mm(4.5″) to 153mm (6.5″) wide.
The device can be supplied in different configurations for handling bundles of 2 to 6 rails and a range of combiner beams is also available for handling mutliple packs.
Manual, pneumatic, hydraulic and electric actuated versions are available in all configurations.
These units are typically used in pairs on a spreader beam for handling rails up to 20m in length. For longer rail lengths Thomson Engineering Design can also supply spreader beams for multiple units.
