AT A GLANCE

Every day, huge containers are loaded by gigantic harbour cranes at the port of Antwerp. They glide over the quay on a rail system.

The rails are located in concrete recesses of up to 55 cm, depending on the size of the crane.
These recesses allow the harbour cranes to move freely, but restrict them for all other vehicles.

STRAIL gap covers provide a relief here. They close the large gap, still guarantee access to the rail and enable people and cars to cross without problems or danger.
