A gantry carriage assembly includes a support plate having a first end and a second end. The gantry carriage assembly further includes first guide wheels secured to a first end of the support plate, the first guide wheels including a first pair of guide wheels configured to accommodate a longitudinal member of a gantry truss therebetween, where the first pair of guide wheels are disposed opposite from one another across the longitudinal member. The gantry carriage assembly also includes second guide wheels secured to a second end of the support plate opposite the first end, the second guide wheels including a second pair of guide wheels configured to accommodate the longitudinal member of the gantry truss therebetween, wherein the second pair of guide wheels are disposed opposite from one another across the longitudinal member.

Rail fastening device
11180893 · 2021-11-23 · ·

A rail fastening device comprises a clip (10) having a base (11) and a nose (12) for engaging a rail flange (F). The base (11) comprises circular aperture (14) in which a circular cam (13) is rotatably mounted, the cam (13) being provided with an eccentric aperture (24) for receiving a ground anchor (25), the cam aperture (24) being radially offset from the rotational centre of the cam (13) to define a cam lobe (15). The cam (13) may comprise a ramped circumferential shoulder (18) to engage a complementary shoulder (21) inside the base aperture (14) such that any rotation of the cam (13) under the applied load of the rail causes the cam (13) to move axially of the base aperture (14) thereby tightening the engagement of the anchor (25) on the cam (13) and preventing movement of the clip (10). The degree of rotation of the cam (13) may be limited so that it can only turn in the tightening direction under load.
