Rail Lifting Clamp
Rail lifting clamp from Glory Track delivers a safe, efficient solution for lifting, positioning, and handling steel rails during installation, loading, and maintenance. Also known as rail lifting tongs or railroad tie tongs, this heavy-duty rail handling tool grips securely from the side to keep rails stable and easy to control. Built with high-strength alloy steel, it offers excellent tensile strength, wear resistance, and long service life in demanding field conditions. Designed for cranes, rail yards, and construction sites, our rail lifting clamps are suitable for diverse rail handling operations. They enable faster, safer, and more precise rail positioning in demanding working environments.
Rail Lifting Clamps (Scissor-Type, Self-Locking)
The rail lifting clamp is a mechanical overhead crane accessory designed for safe rail lifting and transportation. It is suitable for handling individual rails ranging from 43kg/m to 75kg/m, commonly used in railway construction, maintenance, and rail yard operations.
Also known as rail lifting tongs or self-locking scissor-type rail clamps, this manual rail lifting tool offers a reliable and cost-effective solution for single-rail handling without external power systems.
Key Features:
- Self-Locking Clamping Mechanism
- Fully Manual Mechanical Operation
- Wide Rail Compatibility
- Lightweight and Portable Design
- Horizontal and Limited Vertical Lifting
Single Rail Lifting Clamps
Single rail lifting clamps are designed for safe and efficient horizontal handling of individual rails. They are easy to operate and suitable for most common rail gauges used in railway and crane applications. The slim, elongated clamp body allows smooth positioning, even when rails are stored or stacked closely together.
Each rail lifting clamp features a pressure-spring safety lever that locks the rail securely during lifting. For longer rail sections, we recommend using a pair of rail lifting tongs to improve balance and reduce the risk of rail movement. As the clamp grips the rail profile directly, proper vertical lowering is required to ensure stable and controlled placement.
Key Features:
- Flexible and easy to operate
- Clamp profile matches the rail shape
- Compatible with most common rail sections
Rail Pulling Clamps
Rail pulling clamps are designed for accurate rail alignment and positioning during installation and maintenance work. They are commonly used together with wrenches or pulling tools to move rails efficiently and with better control. Suitable for most standard rail gauges, this clamp offers a simple and reliable solution for on-site rail positioning.
The clamp is mounted directly on the top end of the rail and secured using a manual tightening knob. Once fixed, it allows controlled pulling of the rail to the required position, helping improve alignment accuracy while reducing manual effort.
Key Features:
- Purpose-Built for Rail Pulling
- Strong Grip & Anti-Slip Design
- Easy and Safe Operation
- Wide Compatibility & Durable Construction
Fixed Multi Rail Grabs
Fixed multi rail grabs are designed to facilitate the efficient and safe batch lifting of steel rails of the same specification, typically arranged at standardized spacing. Their rigid, pre-set clamping positions ensure uniform load distribution and prevent deformation or slippage during hoisting.
Key Features:
- Efficient Batch Handling
- Even Load Distribution during lifting
- Robust and Safe Construction
- Easy Operation & Automation Compatible
- Wide Range of Applications
Adjustable Multi Rail Grabs
The adjustable multi rail grab is designed for efficient bulk lifting of rails of the same size. It shares the key advantages of our fixed multi rail grabs—robust construction, safe operation, and even load distribution—while featuring a scissor-type adjustable mechanism. This allows the distance between clamps to be modified, making it easy to lift a variable number of rails in a single operation. Ideal for rail yards, installation sites, and maintenance projects, it improves efficiency while keeping rails secure during handling.
| Number of tracks | Rated capacity (kg) | Weight (kg) |
|---|---|---|
| 4 | 5000 | 200 |
| 5 | 5000 | 230 |
| 6 | 6000 | 265 |
| 7 | 7000 | 295 |
| 8 | 8000 | 330 |
