HPB-B Rail Lifting Clamp for A55 - A75 Profiles (1,000 kg WLL)

Upgrade your light-to-medium industrial lifting and crane runway maintenance with the highly specialised HPB-B Rail Lifting Clamp. Precision-engineered for the unique dimensions of lighter crane rails, this dedicated lifting attachment guarantees the safe, perfectly balanced handling of A55 to A75 rail profiles.

Delivering a certified Working Load Limit (WLL) of 1,000 kg (1 Tonne), the HPB-B model provides industrial contractors, overhead crane installers, and facility maintenance teams with a highly secure, standalone rigging solution tailored specifically for runway rail installations.

Precision Engineering for Light Crane Rails

Lifting specialised crane rails requires jaw geometry that matches the rail head perfectly to prevent dangerous load shifts. The HPB-B is designed to bridge this gap while allowing seamless integration with your existing rigging gear:

• Dedicated A-Series Profile Match: The clamping jaw is custom-machined explicitly for the head profiles of A55, A65, and A75 crane rails. This bespoke, interlocking fit ensures a steadfast mechanical grip, preventing lateral slip during overhead transit.
• 1-Tonne Payload Capacity: Rated to safely manage up to 1,000 kg, providing ample lifting power to accommodate standard lengths of medium-duty industrial gantry rail sections.
• Modular Rigging Integration: Supplied as a standalone heavy-duty clamp, the HPB-B 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 manufacturing facilities, warehouses, and continuous industrial use.

Unyielding Safety & 100% Proof Testing

When suspending heavy 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-B 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-B 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-B clamp to lift standard railway tracks like UIC60 or BS113A?
A: No. Crane rails (like the A55 to A75 series) feature a significantly different head profile compared to standard railway tracks. Using the HPB-B on standard train rails will result in an insecure grip and constitutes a severe safety hazard. For standard train rails, please view our HPB or HPA-D models.

Q: Does this clamp come with chain slings attached?
A: No. The HPB-series models are supplied as standalone clamps. This allows contractors the operational freedom to attach the clamp to their own pre-existing, certified chain slings or lifting shackles.

Q: Will this clamp fit the larger A100 crane rail?
A: No. The HPB-B is machined specifically for the A55 to A75 range. If you need to lift the heavier, wider A100 crane rail, you will need the heavy-duty HPB-A model.

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.
