Hydraulic Power Units
Power Units
BRELX Brakes are designed as a spring set and hydraulically released. Power Units are configured to operate the brake cylinders by providing hydraulic pressure and flow. They are typically non-constant running braking system, providing low maintenanceand low energy use, for the following BRELX and other manufacturers’ applications:
-
Rail Clamps
-
Rail Brakes
-
Wheel Brakes
-
Industrial Brakes
Hydraulic Power Units are available for:
-
Internal mounting (within the brake housing)
-
External mounting (within the proximity of the brake it operates)
Each unit is designed for ease of parts access for inspections and maintenance. The hydraulic power unit offers the following:
-
A robust design ensures reliable performance
-
Full stainless steel enclosure for the complete power unit, including hydraulic tank (External HPU model)
-
Manual override screw type solenoid valves which allows for hydraulic isolation
-
A hand pump for manual release operation
Rail Clamps
BRELX RAIL CLAMPS
Rail Clamps are Storm Brakes which are designed to apply (bite) on both sides of a rail. They are designed as a fail-safe brake and are spring set and hydraulically OR electrically released. Spring force pushes levers with serrated shoes to the sides of a crane rail thus providing a friction forces which prevent a crane from uncontrolled moving along the rails in case of sudden bursts (micro burst) of wind.Rail Clamps are vital for outdoor cranes, including Ship to Shore cranes, Automated Stacking Crane, Rail Mounted Gantry cranes, Shiploaders and other Rail mounted material handling equipment in order to prevent a crane runway incident from happening.
In general rail clamps ride above the rail with a guiding means being guide rollers, wheels or blocks which continually make contact with the rail. Until now this has been required to provide designed shoe to rail side clearance in order for brake shoes to make positive contact with the rail. When crane comes to the full stop position the clamps are engaged.
BRELX Rail Clamps are revolutionary designed to release and retract completely from the rail head.

Warranty Repair Depot
We are pleased to be the official Warranty Repair Depot for the following manufacturers.
Please contact us today if you have a warranty repair issue, we’d be happy to help!
Training
Our courses are custom built to suit the type and make of each crane, as well as the specific conditions of each site. As the Portal/Rotator Crane is a unique system in the industry, there are few opportunities to learn the system. These cranes handle and react differently than any other type of equipment onsite, therefore knowing your portal crane will reduce breakdowns and increase the life of your crane.
Operation and maintenance is often learnt on the job and can be aided by proper training specific to each application.
Think safety first…call now to book your training session 1-800-661-1722

Consumable Parts
On every piece of equipment, there are consumable parts that need to be replaced at regular intervals. They contribute to the bulk maintenance expenses of each piece of equipment. It is therefore worthwhile to focus on the consumables as an effective way of saving maintenance costs. Price, reliability, service downtime and labour costs are all factors to be considered when choosing a particular brand of consumable item. Portal Crane Parts is able to help you determine what supplies you should stock as well as supply you with these items to help avoid costly downtime.
