Curved Track
Track can be bent to suit various applications.
To perform smoothly and carry the correct load, the traveler car’s length must suit track radius. See Track Bending chart below for the minimum radius on which each car will ride. If the load requires a long car, but the radius will be too tight, consider using two short cars joined by a coupler.
Minor bends can often be made when the track is installed. If the track requires more bend, Harken® can provide horizontal, vertical or compound curves to specification for a modest charge. If the bend is continuous, add 2 to 4 inches (50 to 100 mm) to each end because track cannot be bent to its ends. Standard Harken® Mini-Maxi and Maxi traveler cars cannot ride on vertical bends with a radius under 50 ft (15.25 m).
Simple Bend: Track length of 2 m (6'6 3/4") or less and chord depth less than 200 mm (8").
Major Bend: Track length of 2.1 m (6'10 11/16") or greater or chord depth of 200 mm (8") or greater.
Compound Bend: Bend in both horizontal and vertical planes.
Compound Simple Bend: Both bends are simple bends.
Compound Major Bend: One or both bends are major bends.
