HPB-A Crane Rail Lifting Clamp for A100 Profiles (2,000 kg WLL)

Elevate your heavy industrial lifting and gantry crane installations with the specialised HPB-A Crane Rail Lifting Clamp. Purpose-built for the unique demands of runway construction, this heavy-duty lifting attachment is engineered specifically for the safe, perfectly balanced handling of massive A100 crane rails.

Delivering a formidable Working Load Limit (WLL) of 2,000 kg (2 Tonnes), the HPB-A provides port engineers, steelworks contractors, and overhead crane installers with a dedicated, no-compromise rigging solution capable of managing the heaviest runway rail sections with absolute precision.

Precision Engineering for Heavy Runway Rails

Lifting wide-flange, high-mass crane rails requires specialised geometry that standard train rail clamps cannot safely provide. The HPB-A is designed to bridge this gap while allowing integration with your existing rigging gear:

• Dedicated A100 Profile Match: The clamping jaw is custom-machined explicitly for the heavy-duty A100 crane rail head. This bespoke, interlocking fit ensures a steadfast mechanical grip, preventing lateral slip and dangerous load tilting during overhead transit.
• Massive 2-Tonne Payload Capacity: Rated to safely manage up to 2,000 kg, providing double the lifting power of standard clamps to easily accommodate extra-long or heavy industrial gantry rail sections.
• Modular Rigging Integration: Supplied as a standalone heavy-duty clamp, the HPB-A allows you to connect it directly to your own certified master links, chain slings, or lifting beams, giving your rigging teams ultimate operational flexibility.
• Premium European Craftsmanship: Proudly Made in the EU. Forged from exceptional-grade industrial steel, it is built to withstand the punishing physical demands of dockyards, heavy manufacturing facilities, and continuous industrial use.

Unyielding Safety & 100% Proof Testing

When suspending two tonnes of solid steel above a factory floor, equipment failure is catastrophic. We provide undeniable proof of structural integrity before the equipment ever reaches your facility:

Zero Guesswork – 100% Strength Tested: We refuse to rely on randomized batch testing. Every single HPB-A 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 clamp has been overloaded in a controlled factory setting to empirically prove it will not deform or fail under maximum stress.

To ensure seamless passage through strict Health and Safety Executive (HSE) site audits, the HPB-A 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 HPB-A clamp to lift standard railway tracks like UIC60 or BS113A?
A: No. Crane rails (like the A100) feature a significantly wider and flatter head profile compared to standard railway tracks. Using the HPB-A on standard train rails will result in an insecure grip and constitutes a severe safety hazard. For standard rails, please view our HPB or HPA-D models.

Q: What is the difference between the HPB-A and the HPA-C models?
A: Both are designed exclusively for A100 crane rails. However, the HPA-C has a 1,000 kg WLL and comes with an integrated chain sling. The HPB-A is designed for much heavier applications with a 2,000 kg WLL and is supplied as a standalone clamp without chains, allowing you to attach your own heavy-duty rigging.

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