Q1: What exactly is a Tower Crane Fishplate?
A fishplate is a high-strength, precision-engineered steel connector. Its primary function is to join two sections of crane rail end-to-end securely.
Q2: What is its FUNCTION?
1.Continuity & Alignment:
It creates a seamless, level path for the crane’s bogies (wheels), preventing bumps or misalignment.
2.Load Distribution:
It effectively transfers and distributes the immense load and stress from the moving crane across the rail joints, preventing rail deformation.
3.Structural Integrity:
It maintains the gauge (distance between rails) and overall stability of the entire track system.
Q3: Why is the QUALITY of a Fishplate so IMPORTANT?
A fishplate is a safety-critical component. Failure here can lead to track misalignment, derailment risks, and catastrophic structural stress.
Q4: What are the advantages of our products?
1.Premium Material:
Manufactured from Q235B/Q345B high-strength steel to withstand extreme forces.
2.Precision Engineering:
CNC machining and precision drilling ensure perfect bolt alignment (±0.5mm tolerance) for a secure, rattle-free fit.
3.Superior Protection:
Featuring hot-dip galvanizing (≥80μm) or anti-rust paint to resist corrosion in harsh outdoor environments.
4.Rigorous Certification:
Production follows ISO 9001:2015 standards, with quality assurance including ultrasonic testing, load verification, and material analysis.
Q5: Where are Fishplates APPLIED?
1.Tower Crane Rail Connections
2.Gantry & Portal Crane Track Systems
3.Port Machinery and Container Handling Rail Tracks
4.Industrial Railway and Construction Equipment Rail Installations
Q6: What are some FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQs)?
Q: How do I choose the right fishplate?
A: It must match your rail profile (e.g., A75, A100, A120). Always specify the rail type and check compatibility. We supply plates for all standard profiles.
Q: What’s crucial during installation?
A: Always use the specified high-strength bolts. Ensure proper alignment and tighten to the correct torque specification. Regular torque checks are recommended during maintenance.
Q: How do I maintain them?
A: Conduct regular visual inspections for signs of:
Corrosion (compromised coating)
Deformation or Wear
Hairline Cracks – If found, replace immediately.
A simple maintenance routine prevents major downtime.
Q: Are they customizable?
A: Yes. While we stock standards, we offer customization for material grade, dimensions, and hole patterns for specialized rail systems.
The Bottom Line: Don’t let a small component risk your big project. Quality fishplates are a non-negotiable investment in safety, stability, and smooth operation.
