0398145803 - ESAB Railtrac Extension Rail 2.5m (8.2 ft)

Expand Your Mechanized Welding Capabilities

The ESAB Railtrac system is a cornerstone of portable welding mechanization, designed to improve productivity and weld quality in heavy fabrication, shipbuilding, and structural steel applications. The ESAB 0398145803 Railtrac Bar is a critical component for this system, providing a 2.5-meter (8.2 ft) extension path for your Railtrac tractor. Manufactured from high-grade aluminum, this rail offers the perfect balance of rigidity and portability, ensuring that your automated welding setup remains stable while being light enough for a single operator to position and secure.

Mechanization in welding is all about consistency. By using the official ESAB rail, you ensure that your Railtrac unit travels smoothly at a constant speed, eliminating the starts, stops, and inconsistencies often associated with manual welding over long distances. This specific rail section is designed to be modular; it can be connected to other rail sections to create a track of any required length. Whether you are performing long longitudinal seam welds or extensive cutting operations, this rail provides the guidance necessary for precision results.

Mounting flexibility is a key feature of the Railtrac system. This bar is compatible with various mounting options, including vacuum cups for non-ferrous materials, heavy-duty magnets for steel, or screw mounts for permanent fixtures. This adaptability makes it an essential accessory for workshops that handle diverse projects ranging from tank fabrication to beam welding. Investing in genuine ESAB accessories ensures seamless compatibility with your Railtrac B42V or F1000 units, maintaining the high performance and reliability you expect from ESAB equipment.

Key Industrial Benefits
