Bridge rail for overhead crane
 
2 Attachment(s)
I am looking for two short lengths of rail for an overhead travelling crane. It is not a profile I have met before but am told it is called "bridge rail". I can fabricate something from bar and angle if all else fails but I thought I would ask here first in case anyone has any they want rid of or knows where there is some. I need a 1 metre and a 1.5metre length, and the profile is as per the attached photo and sketch. Please PM me on here if you have anything suitable,
regards
Andrew.

Andrew, unless it is for a heritage application you could just use rectangular or square section stock bar sized to suit the crane wheels. Modern steel framed buildings use this method for crane rails. Neil.

I would rather find the right stuff Neil, but yes that's what I plan to do if nothing turns up.
