La stabilité est un élément essentiel. Pour les grues sur rails ou sur camion, cette stabilité doit tenir compte de la largeur réduite de la base de sustentation, ce qui nécessite parfois l'adjonction de vérins sur poutres coulissantes pour pouvoir disposer d'une base de sustentation élargie. Certaines grues sur voie ferrée peuvent être réalisées sur voies plus larges que la voie normale. 7, record 4, French, - grue%20sur%20rails

Rail Mounted Tower Crane. The existing rail tracks located on the site have been designed to carry loads from fully loaded trains. They should therefore be checked to see whether they will be able to maintain support for a 55m boom tower crane. The crane must be operated in accordance with BS 5744:1979, and BS 7121:1982 Part1, which outlines a safe practise for the use of the crane. 1, record 6, English, - rail%20mounted%20tower%20crane
