1.1 Straight Track Fixing Requirements

The Ceiling Track requires a certain amount of fixings to ensure that the Installation is safe for the end users’ usage. Depending on the Type of Track, and the Safe Working Load (SWL) applied, fixings are required over certain spans.

See the Table below for details:

*Where required a Ceiling Track can be cut to length to suit the installation requirements.

1.1.1 Prism Track Profiles

Below are the various Track Types Profiles for reference, see below for the dimensions of each Track Type. (The Double Track is combined with the Single Track during installation)

1.1.2 Track Bracket Positions

For each Track Type the maximum spanning distances between each fixing will vary.

It is not permitted for any Track to exceed the maximum span requirements under any circumstances. The maximum span is relevant to all Safe Working Loads applied to the Ceiling Track System.

A Ceiling Track is permitted to have an Over-Hang of no more than 250mm from its final fixing point, this overhang must not be exceeded and applies to all Track Types included within this manual.

Spanning Distances for Ceiling Installations

Spanning Distances for Wall Fixings, Gantry Fixings and H-Systems

When spanning between two fixing points, the Safe Working Load of the Hoist will have an effect on the Maximum Span of the Track.

See the Table below for details:

When a larger Spanning Distance is required for Wall to Wall and Gantry System Fixings, a Side Hanging Steel Box Section can be used to suit the Installation at hand. Refer to Section 5.0 for an example of this fixing method.
