Tarca® Track: Engineered for Crane Applications Strong, Durable Rail Tarca® vs. I-beam High carbon flange means longer track life A common source of track wear is a process known as peening. Peening is the gradual movement of metal over time, caused by the rolling action of wheels. Because of I-beam’s mild steel construction, peening tends to occur unevenly, weakening the beam flange and restricting smooth easy travel. Tarca® Track’s raised tread design and extra hard alloy steel construction slow down the peening process. The full width of the raised tread wears evenly, extending track life...

Case Study: Tarca®: A Better Solution than I-Beam Cleveland Tramrail Keeps Paper Industry Moving Seven Cleveland Tramrail crane systems are the key to moving product around a Pittsburgh manufacturing plant. This plant manufactures fabric that is used in the paper industry to drain water out of the pulp mixture. On one end of the facility, the fabric is woven on looms using fishing wire. These pieces of woven wire are then seamed together in widths up to 40', taken off the loom and draped onto aluminum rolls. These rolls weigh hundreds of pounds and their width makes them quite awkward to manipulate....

How do our interlocks operate? 1 2 Runway 2 2. The bridges line up with the crossover track. The rollers move from the interlocking beam toward a wedge type engaging mechanism on the crossover track (see Photo 2). 3 Crossover Track 1. Both bridge girders approach the crossover track. The operator pushes a button powering a gear motor that activates a pair of rollers. 3. The rollers make contact with the wedge and self-align within 1-1/4" horizontal range. As both beams are interlocked, forks on powered and nonpowered beams are raised for free passage of carrier (see Photo 3). 4. To disengage...
