Bemo Rail
Summary
Started in 1970 as a trading company, Bemo Rail decided – after much demand from the market – to develop its own shunting installations in 1984. Six years later the production activities were expanded with the assembly of crane tracks. Since then Bemo Rail consists of two departments: Rail Technology and Shunting Technology.
In 2006 we moved to a new and larger premises in Warmenhuizen, just above Amsterdam. The combination of a modern office, a logistically well-equipped production facility and high educated employees makes it possible to execute our products and services qualitatively, efficiently and quickly, with a good price/quality ratio.
Our vision
– Render durable and customer-specific services by professional and multi-purpose teams.
– Remain prominent in the market for rail constructions worldwide.
– Remain involved in the initial stage of projects, which results in qualitative, price-conscious and practical solutions.
– Become market leader for shunting systems and shunting locomotives, with functionality optimally related to price.
– Be distinctive in upgrading and modernizing existing locomotives.
– Using durable materials and methods is embraced as a principle by Bemo Rail.
Due to the growing demand from the Far East we decided to open an office in Singapore in 2013, named Bemo MMP Rail Systems Pte. Ltd. Nowadays our organization is more than ever able to work flexible, quickly and completely fulfilling our customers’ wishes all over the world!
Crane Track on Concrete – Continuously Supported

RAIL TECHNOLOGY
Concrete
A continuously supported crane track is characterized by rail mounted on a continuous steel sole plate with continuous grouting, either or not mounted in a concrete recess. This rail system is particularly well suited for high dynamic wheel load.
If the wheel load is 50% of the maximally admitted wheel load on the rail, the steel sole plate may be left out. Then the rail is anchored on concrete by means of anchor bolts through the rail foot. Characteristic are the holes in the rail foot and the continuous grouting.
This system is only applicable to crane rail with a wide foot.
Crane Track on Concrete – Discontinuously Supported

Concrete
A discontinuously supported crane track is characterized by rail – either or not mounted in a concrete recess – on steel support plates or rail chairs, with a centre-to-centre distance of ca. 500 – 1000 mm. Each support plate is grouted separately. Rail chairs can be integrated directly with the reinforcement in the concrete.
This system is suitable if continuous support is not necessary or not possible.
Crane Track on a Steel Girder

Steel
Characteristic for a crane track on a steel girder is the rail often being fastened onto profile steel, with adjustable clips and either or not with elastic pad. With such constructions mostly weldable clips are used. These clips can mostly be pre-constructed.
Crane Track on Concrete Sleepers

Ballast
Bemo Rail has its own concrete sleeper for crane-rail constructions with heavy wheel loads. The rail is mounted onto a sleeper with a strong spring clip and an elastic sole plate. The sleeper can be installed very precisely in a gravel bed, on sand-cement stabilization, or in repak. The entire rail construction can, if required, be applied in combination with hardening (asphalt, concrete slabs or paving). It is important that the foundation is solidly compact.
