HCJ-A CBP 60 Crossing Plate Holder (1,300 kg WLL)

Optimise your trackside operations and level crossing upgrades with the highly specialised HCJ-A Holder for CBP 60 Crossing Plates. Precision-calibrated for modern railway infrastructure projects, this dedicated lifting attachment guarantees the safe, perfectly balanced, and highly efficient handling of heavy CBP 60 level crossing panels.

Delivering a highly dependable Working Load Limit (WLL) of 1,300 kg (1.3 Tonnes), the HCJ-A model is a vital, purpose-built asset for rail engineering contractors aiming to streamline the installation, removal, and maintenance of rail crossing infrastructure without compromising on site safety.

Purpose-Built Infrastructure Handling

Lifting standardized railway crossing plates requires precise, engineered geometry to prevent dangerous load shifts. The HCJ-A holder eliminates the need for improvised rigging, providing a secure, rapid mechanical connection designed specifically for the task:

• Dedicated CBP 60 Profile: The jaw geometry is specifically tailored to safely engage, lift, and position standard CBP 60 crossing plates, ensuring a secure bite and zero load shift during overhead transit.
• Heavy-Duty Payload: Safely handles up to 1,300 kg, providing ample lifting strength for robust crossing infrastructure components.
• Premium European Craftsmanship: Proudly Made in the EU. Constructed from high-grade industrial steel to withstand relentless outdoor exposure, heavy mechanical impacts, and the harsh realities of the rail network.

Unyielding Safety & 100% Proof Testing

In critical rail engineering, equipment reliability is directly tied to workforce safety. The HCJ-A Holder provides absolute operational certainty through exhaustive physical testing protocols:

Mandatory 100% Strength Tested: At Craneplex, we do not rely on randomized batch testing for our rail accessories. Every single HCJ-A unit is subjected to a rigorous 100% physical strength proof test in strict accordance with the appendices of the EN 13155 standard before dispatch. This guarantees that your specific lifting unit has empirically proven its structural integrity under extreme load conditions.

Strict UK Regulatory Compliance

Navigating health and safety audits on live railway networks requires fully documented, legally compliant equipment. The HCJ-A Holder meets the most stringent statutory frameworks:

• UKCA Certified: Fully approved and regulatory-ready for safe commercial deployment across the United Kingdom's rail network.
• Statutory Machinery Laws: Strictly adheres to the mandatory health and safety directives outlined in the UK Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008.
• Harmonised Lifting Standards: Manufactured, structurally designed, and verified in absolute alignment with the harmonised BS EN 13155 (Cranes – Safety – Non-fixed load lifting attachments) standard.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What is the difference between the HCJ and the HCJ-A models?
A: The models are dimensionally tailored to different standard plate profiles. The HCJ model is specifically engineered to grip CBP 49 plates, whereas the HCJ-A is custom-profiled to safely secure and lift CBP 60 crossing plates.

Q: Can I use this holder to lift generic concrete slabs or other railway components?
A: No. The HCJ-A Holder is dimensionally profiled and explicitly engineered for the safe handling of CBP 60 crossing plates only. Using it on alternative materials or profiles will result in an insecure grip and poses a severe safety hazard.

Q: Why does the "100% strength test to EN 13155" matter for my site audits?
A: Railway engineering sites operate under intense Health and Safety Executive (HSE) scrutiny. The 100% strength test certification provides undeniable proof that your exact lifting attachment has been physically overloaded in a controlled factory setting and survived without deformation. This ensures operator safety and guarantees immediate compliance during strict site inspections.
