Abstract

A rail for suspended conveyors and suspended cranes, having a substantially C-shaped profile head for suspending the rail and a profile body connected thereto. The profile head is open at the top, thereby forming a gap running along a longitudinal center plane bounded on both sides by first web segments extending outward from the center plane. Two second web segments opposite each other and running downward and outward as seen in cross section are connected to the first web segments and the rail is made of two profiles disposed symmetrically about the vertical longitudinal center plane as seen in cross section. The rail supports an overload protection in the region of the profile head, and allows simple attachment by suspension supports. In a particular embodiment the first web segments run diagonally outward and upward and the first web segments are angled relative to the longitudinal center plane.
