One of the targets of the present invention is to improve the setting of running rails for overhead cranes, laid on concrete beams, for gantries, for harbor cranes, for tools-machines, for automatized warehouses or for any other type of running track, fixed through individual and/or continuous steel plates, and to provide a simple and effective solution compared to both already existing systems.

Another advantage of the present invention is to substantially reduce, or even completely eliminate, the need for welding on such a laying system. The clip bases welding induces significant stresses and deformations in the individual and/or continuous steel plates, particularly when they have to be galvanized. More over, additional drainage holes have to be drilled under each clip base to allow the zinc to be drained off, so generating additional manufacturing costs.

The most important specification of this invention is to facilitate the replacement of clips, clamps and/or any other rail fastening system when these are defective or oxide.

Another major objective of the present invention is to enable a best distribution of the longitudinal horizontal forces to be absorbed by the plates fixed below the individual and/or continuous steel base plates (which are the main base of the rails). So, the forces induced by gantries and/or harbor cranes, or any other handling equipment, which may move on these tracks, will no longer be taken up only by the anchor belts, but also by these plates.
