The above detail is a section of the bottom chord showing the rail that rides on wheels mounted on the main support structure. My question is about how it is attached and I think...

    Bolting of Crane Rail

    Maximum vertical reaction would be about 60 kips with a side loading maximum from wind of about 8 kips.
