HPA-C Crane Rail Lifting Clamp for A100 Profiles (1,000 kg WLL)

Upgrade your heavy-duty lifting and gantry crane maintenance with the specialised HPA-C Crane Rail Lifting Clamp. Unlike standard railway clamps, the HPA-C is purpose-built to safely secure, balance, and maneuver heavy, wide-flange crane rails—specifically the A100 profile.

Delivering a certified Working Load Limit (WLL) of 1,000 kg (1 Tonne), this robust lifting assembly provides port engineers, overhead crane installers, and heavy industrial contractors with a dedicated, no-compromise rigging solution for runway rail installations.

Precision Engineering for Runway Rails

Lifting wide-head crane rails poses unique balancing challenges that standard train rail clamps cannot safely handle. The HPA-C is engineered to bridge this gap:

• Dedicated A100 Profile Match: The clamping jaw is custom-machined specifically for the heavy-duty A100 crane rail head. This bespoke fit ensures a positive, interlocking grip that prevents lateral slip and dangerous load tilting during overhead transit.
• Turnkey Rigging Package: To keep your installations moving without delay, the HPA-C is supplied fully assembled with a certified, high-strength chain sling. It arrives ready to be attached directly to your crane hook.
• 1 Tonne Payload Capacity: Rated to safely manage up to 1,000 kg, providing the necessary lifting power for heavy industrial gantry and overhead runway rail sections.
• Premium European Craftsmanship: Proudly Made in the EU. Forged from exceptional-grade industrial steel, it is built to withstand the punishing physical demands of port logistics, steelworks, and heavy manufacturing facilities.

Unyielding Safety & 100% Proof Testing

When suspending heavy crane rails high above a factory floor or dockyard, equipment failure is catastrophic. We provide undeniable proof of structural integrity before the equipment ever reaches your site:

Zero Guesswork – 100% Strength Tested: We do not rely on random batch testing. Every single HPA-C crane rail clamp undergoes a mandatory 100% physical strength proof load test in strict accordance with the appendices of the BS EN 13155 standard. Your specific, serial-numbered assembly has been overloaded in a controlled factory setting to empirically prove it will not deform or fail.

To ensure seamless passage through strict Health and Safety Executive (HSE) site audits, the HPA-C meets all critical UK regulatory frameworks:

• UKCA Certified: Fully approved, documented, and regulatory-ready for legal trade and safe deployment across Great Britain’s industrial sector.
• Statutory Machinery Laws: Strictly adheres to all mandatory health, safety, and lifting directives outlined in the UK Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008.
• Harmonised Lifting Standards: Designed, manufactured, and physically tested in absolute alignment with the harmonised BS EN 13155 (Cranes – Safety – Non-fixed load lifting attachments) standard.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use the HPA-C clamp to lift standard train rails?
A: No. Crane rails (like the A100) have a significantly wider and flatter head profile compared to standard railway tracks (like BS113A or UIC60). Using the HPA-C on standard train rails will result in an insecure grip and constitutes a severe safety hazard. For standard rails, please view our HPA model.

Q: Is the chain sling included in the certification?
A: Yes. The HPA-C is supplied as a complete lifting assembly. The included high-strength chain sling is fully load-rated and certified alongside the clamping mechanism, providing a complete, compliant load path.

Q: Why is the "100% strength test" important for industrial installations?
A: It provides your site managers and safety officers with a physical test certificate confirming that your exact clamp has survived extreme overload testing. This provides undeniable proof to HSE inspectors that the equipment is structurally sound and fit for overhead industrial use.
