HPB-H Ultra Heavy-Duty Rail Lifting Clamp (5,000 kg WLL)

Elevate your large-scale rail infrastructure projects with the ultra heavy-duty HPB-H Rail Lifting Clamp. Designed for the most demanding trackside operations and major network overhauls, this clamp provides a massive Working Load Limit (WLL) of 5,000 kg (5 Tonnes). It ensures the secure, perfectly balanced handling of the heaviest standard steel rail profiles on the market.

Whether you are navigating major railway construction, complex depot logistics, or heavy material handling, the HPB-H provides the steadfast mechanical grip required to move massive track sections safely and efficiently.

Core Operational Advantages

Lifting 5 tonnes of solid steel track requires equipment that will not slip or falter under extreme pressure. The HPB-H is purpose-built to deliver immense power while allowing you to utilize your own heavy-duty rigging gear:

• Massive 5-Tonne Payload: Engineered to safely lift up to 5,000 kg, making it the definitive choice for exceptionally heavy track renewals or lifting extended rail lengths where standard clamps fall short.
• Broad Profile Compatibility: The aggressively profiled clamping jaw safely engages major international train rail types, including BS113A, S49, S54, and S60.
• Modular Rigging Integration: Supplied as a standalone heavy-duty clamp, the HPB-H allows contractors to connect it directly to their own high-capacity certified master links, heavy-duty chain slings, or spreader beams.
• Premium European Craftsmanship: Proudly Made in the EU. Forged from extreme-grade industrial steel, it is built to withstand the brutal physical demands of heavy rail network construction, ballast impacts, and continuous industrial use.

Absolute Safety & Mandatory Proof Testing

In the high-stakes environment of the UK rail network, equipment failure at a 5-tonne scale is catastrophic. We provide indisputable proof of structural integrity before the clamp ever reaches your trackside operations:

Zero Guesswork – 100% Strength Tested: At Craneplex, we refuse to rely on randomized batch checks. Every single HPB-H rail clamp undergoes a rigorous 100% physical strength proof load test in strict accordance with the appendices of the BS EN 13155 standard. Your exact unit has been physically overloaded in a controlled factory setting to empirically prove it will not deform under its massive maximum capacity.

To guarantee seamless passage through the strictest Health and Safety Executive (HSE) site audits, the HPB-H satisfies all critical statutory frameworks:

• UKCA Certified: Fully approved, documented, and regulatory-ready for safe commercial deployment across Great Britain’s rail network.
• 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: Why choose the HPB-H over the standard HPB or HPA models?
A: The HPB-H offers a massive 5,000 kg WLL, which is 2.5 to 10 times the capacity of our standard rail clamps. It is designed specifically for extreme-duty infrastructure lifts where standard 1-tonne or 2-tonne clamps simply do not have the structural brawn to safely manage the load.

Q: Is this clamp suitable for lifting wide crane rails like the A100?
A: No. The HPB-H is specifically profiled for the heads of standard train rails (BS113A, S49, S54, S60). For heavy, flat-headed crane rails, you must use a dedicated crane rail clamp, such as our HPB-A model.

Q: Does this model come with an integrated chain sling?
A: No, the HPB-H is a standalone clamp. Because of its massive 5-tonne capacity, it is designed to be paired with your own highly-rated, heavy-duty rigging gear, allowing you to configure the load path to suit your specific crane or lifting beam setup.

Q: How does the "100% strength test" help my site managers during HSE inspections?
A: It provides your safety officers with a physical, documented test certificate confirming that your exact serial-numbered lifting clamp has survived extreme overload testing at the factory. This provides HSE inspectors with undeniable proof that the equipment is structurally sound and fit for high-capacity use on a live railway network.
