TIEBACK ASSEMBLIES

TIEBACKS / SURGE CONNECTORS

The connection between runway girder ends and building columns is a common area of failure on overhead crane runways. Often referred to as tieback connections or surge connectors, this joining is subject to the fatigue stemming from flexural stresses in runway girders from crane operations.
