Elevator Guide Rail Fishplates

Elevator Guide Rail Fishplates is a fishplate product for elevator guide rail joints. The profile codes in the technical table should be reviewed together with the rail profile and fixing hole arrangement as a basis for choosing suitable fishplates.

The fishplate image shows a flat connecting plate with holes. When selecting a profile code, compare mating hole positions and contact surfaces with the rail using a current drawing.

Application and Product Selection

Guide rail fishplates are connecting components used at the joints between rail sections. For modernization, assess compatibility with the relevant rail profile, hole positions and the relationship between connecting surfaces together. Rails and fishplates are separate product groups; their geometric compatibility must be checked against technical documentation to establish a suitable connection.

The technical table lists the profile codes T45, T50, T70, T82, T89, T90 and T125. These codes alone do not specify fishplate length, thickness, hole diameter or hole spacing. Share the relevant rail profile and existing connection dimensions when ordering, and compare the exact dimensions of the selected fishplate against an up-to-date drawing.

A product should not be selected solely from a photograph or a similar model name. Exact dimensions, connection arrangements, operating conditions and system compatibility should be assessed against current technical documentation. Images show the general product form and do not replace a scaled manufacturing drawing. Check the application requirements together with the variant to be ordered.

Installation Planning and Maintenance

Before replacement, record the position of the existing component, its fixing points, interacting parts and maintenance access. Installation planning should cover dimensional comparison, suitable fasteners and the way components operate together. Installation and commissioning checks should be carried out by qualified personnel in accordance with the product instructions and the technical requirements of the project.

Installation and maintenance assessment should cover joint alignment, contact surfaces, fixing condition and continuity of the rail. If deformation, corrosion or loosening is present at the connection, follow the relevant technical maintenance process. Post-installation checks should cover the compatibility of the rail joint with the overall system as well as correct seating of the fishplate.

Keep the product code, selected variant, quantity, installation position and technical documents in the project file for maintenance and future sourcing. Reference photographs and dimensional records of the replaced component can also be included. This provides a traceable basis for selecting components for subsequent modernization work on other elevators with the same arrangement.

Modernization Project and Quotation

When requesting a product assessment or quotation from Katrelift, share the model code, required quantity, a photograph of the existing component and the relevant fixing dimensions. Indicating whether the project concerns a new installation, maintenance or modernization helps identify the appropriate variant and the associated components that should be considered together.
