Louden® Track, Track Accessories and Track Switches


Engineered for maximum strength, long wear and ease of installation, Louden runway tracks and track fittings are designed to meet span, load and duty requirements for a wide range of applications. Composed of special analysis high carbon, high manganese steel, Louden SuperTrack, SuperTrack Girder, and TrojanTrack Girder sections are manufactured to maintain close tolerances on dimensions.

Louden runway track is tailor-made for your job requirements. Each section of straight track is cut to exact length, all required holes in place and each curve is machine bent at the factory to layout drawings and specifications. Every piece of track is shipped from the factory, ready for installation.

  1. LOUDEN 602.6 SUPERTRACK
    Louden 2" flange SuperTrack is the pioneer heavy-duty monorail track section. It is ideal for non-electrified monorail and crane systems with loads up to two tons. A complete line of hangers and other fittings are available to make this track easily adaptable to the most complicated systems requiring heavy-duty hand propelled equipment.
  2. LOUDEN 603.6 SUPERTRACK
    Louden 3.33" flange SuperTrack incorporates a wider flange allowing the use of wheels with wide treads and extra large bearings. This track provides a beam of exceptional strength for all types of motorized carriers. Since the area of the track receiving the trolley is flat, and the tread of the wheel is also flat, increased wheel and track life is attained.
  3. LOUDEN 603.7 SUPERTRACK *
    Louden 3.33" flange SuperTrack possesses the same properties as the Louden 603.6 SuperTrack but can sustain heavier loads due to increase of the size of the compression flange.

    A complete stock of fittings is available to make this track adaptable to the most complicated system.

    * Warning: Suspension of 603.7 SuperTrack must be made on the 603.6 track section only. Suspension can not be made to the material or bar added to the compression flange.

  4. LOUDEN 604 SUPERTRACK GIRDER
    Louden 3.33" flange SuperTrack Girder is designed to meet the requirements of heavy-duty service at moderate expense. SuperTrack Girder is constructed with the operating flange continuously welded to a supporting web and top flange. The operating flange is rolled from special analysis billets to exacting specifications and tolerances.

    Louden SuperTrack Girder is used where loads and building bay-spans are too great to use standard SuperTrack. SuperTrack Girder provides a beam of exceptional strength and maximum weight economy. The beam strength reduces or eliminates the need for intermediate hangers.

  5. LOUDEN 605 TROJANTRACK GIRDER
    Louden 3.33" flange TrojanTrack has the strongest operating flange of any of our specially rolled monorail track sections. The operating flange design and metallurgy offer a track capable of sustaining large wheel loads under rugged heavy-duty service, while minimizing peening and wear. The girder web and top flange are fabricated from steel plates which are continuously welded to form the girder track section. These girders are of sufficient depth to permit the use of large diameter wheels to move extremely heavy loads under punishing requirements with dependable performance and durability. Louden TrojanTrack Girders are designed for maximum structural value as a load carrying member.

Electrified Sliding Switches
Electrified SuperTrack Sliding Switches are available in three configurations; two-way, three-way and wye. These switches may be operated by hand, electric motor or by air cylinders. Sliding switches are designed to be used with Louden Motorized carriers equipped with Louden SuperTrack trolleys.

Non-Electrified Sliding Switch
Louden Non-Electrified SuperTrack Sliding Switches are available in three configurations: two-way, three-way and wye. These medium duty sliding switches are used in monorail systems that do not have electrically powered carriers.

Tongue Switch
Louden SuperTrack Tongue Switches are designed to permit one switch to perform four different operations. With only a minimum modification to the operating mechanism, the basic switch may be used as a right-hand, left-hand, wye or three-way tongue switch on non-electrified SuperTrack monorail Systems. Conversion to wye type switches may be made with no additional parts.
