Walraven RapidRail Fixing System

Walraven RapidRail is a precision-engineered lightweight channel system designed to streamline the support of pipework, cable trays and ductwork. Using less steel than the traditional 41×41mm strut channel, RapidRail offers significant labour and material savings. Its pre-assembled accessories enable Installers to ‘insert, lock, done’, reducing installation time by up to 40%. Available in 2m, with full BIM support and sustainability credentials (EPD certified).

• Lightweight Profile: RapidRail uses substantially less steel per metre than conventional strut, saving approximately 1.9 kg per metre relative to 41×41 channel.
• Smart Hole Pattern: RapidRail has 8.5 mm drill holes and a pattern that allows accessories to be fixed from both sides of the rail.
• Pre-assembled Accessories: Such as Slide Nuts, Hammerfix and Ball Swivel Hangers that significantly reduce installation time (saving up to 40%).
• Sustainable Credentials: RapidRail utilises less material and has available EPD documents. It is manufactured in-house and tested/approved.
• Roll Formed Profile: Profiles are roll-formed for minimal “trumpet effect” (expansion of profile ends when cut).

Because it is lighter and easier to cut, handle, and install, the system is particularly advantageous for overhead work, retrofit applications, and environments where labour or access is constrained. 

Within the RapidRail system, there is a wide range of pre-assembled accessories that insert and lock straight into the rail.

• Slide Nuts: A slide nut with an M8 or M10 thread, ready for threading once installed.
• Hammerfix: The Hammerfix is a slide nut with a pre-cut stud bolt, ready for attachment of threaded fittings, significantly reducing installation time.
• Swivel Ball Hangers: Available in M8 and M10 options, this swivel hanger offers 20° of lateral movement for the fixture being hung.
• End Caps: Green polyethylene cap designed to provide a professional and safe finish, neatly closing the open ends of Walraven RapidRail fixing rails, covering any burrs created from cutting.
• Connectors: Available in many configurations (Straight, 90°, 135°, Cross, X and T connectors) to aid installation and specification.

RapidRail accessories are exceptionally easy to install. Simply insert the fitting into the rail profile, twist it to lock it in place, slide it to the desired position, and tighten to achieve a strong, secure mounting solution.

There is also a range of RapidRail supporting systems, such as Wall Plates, Cantilever Arms, Corner Brackets, Rail Props and Suspension Brackets. These provide critical support to the rail system and should be used as per Walravens' guidelines.
