HPM Rail Lifting Roll Carrier (2,000 kg WLL)

Streamline your continuous welded rail (CWR) installations and dynamic track positioning with the highly specialised HPM Rail Lifting Roll Carrier. Unlike standard static lifting clamps, the HPM is engineered with an integrated roller mechanism, allowing for the safe suspension, longitudinal feeding, and precise guiding of heavy steel rail sections during complex trackside operations.

Delivering a formidable Working Load Limit (WLL) of 2,000 kg (2 Tonnes), the HPM Roll Carrier is an indispensable asset for major infrastructure contractors who need to pull, thread, or position long strings of rail without repeatedly detaching and re-rigging standard lifting equipment.

Dynamic Trackside Engineering

Handling extremely long lengths of steel rail requires equipment that allows for fluid movement while maintaining an unyielding grip on the load's vertical axis. The HPM is purpose-built to deliver targeted dynamic performance:

• Integrated Roller System: Features heavy-duty internal rollers that allow the suspended rail to be pulled longitudinally through the carrier. This is vital for threading operations, rail stressing preparation, and precise trackbed alignment.
• Broad Profile Compatibility: The carrier housing is geometrically engineered to safely accommodate and guide a wide spectrum of standard and heavy rail profiles, including S49, R50, S54, and UIC60.
• 2-Tonne Payload Capacity: Rated to safely support up to 2,000 kg, providing the heavy-duty lifting strength required to suspend extended lengths of solid steel track.
• Premium European Craftsmanship: Proudly Made in the EU. Constructed from extreme-grade industrial steel and fitted with high-wear resistant rollers to withstand brutal track ballast environments, heavy friction, and continuous outdoor use.

Absolute Safety & Mandatory Proof Testing

In the high-stakes environment of the UK rail network, equipment failure during dynamic rail pulling is simply not an option. We provide indisputable proof of structural integrity before the carrier ever reaches your trackside operations:

Zero Guesswork – 100% Strength Tested: At Craneplex, we refuse to rely on randomized batch checks. Every single HPM Roll Carrier 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 maximum 2-tonne capacity.

To guarantee seamless passage through the strictest Health and Safety Executive (HSE) site audits, the HPM 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: What makes the HPM Roll Carrier different from a standard lifting clamp like the HPB?
A: A standard lifting clamp (like the HPB) bites hard into the rail and locks it in place for a static vertical lift. The HPM Roll Carrier features high-strength internal rollers. Once the rail is lifted, it can be pulled or fed horizontally through the carrier, which is essential for threading continuous welded rail (CWR) or repositioning long lengths of track.

Q: Will this carrier handle the heavy UIC60 rails?
A: Yes. The HPM’s internal housing and roller mechanism are explicitly engineered and certified to safely accommodate and guide heavy UIC60 rail profiles, alongside standard types like S49, R50, and S54.

Q: Can I use this for standard vertical lifting without rolling?
A: While the carrier will safely hold the rail vertically up to its 2,000 kg WLL, it is designed to allow horizontal movement. If you require the rail to be locked firmly in place without any risk of longitudinal sliding during a lift, you must use a static, locking rail clamp instead.

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