Abstract
A rail support system for adjustably supporting a pair of abutting rails to be welded together. The inventive device includes a pair of support devices each comprising a support base, a first lift assembly attached to an end of the support base, a second lift assembly attached to an opposing end of the support base, a pair of locking handles attached to the support base for engaging a lower portion of the rail, and a gripping handle attached to the support base for allowing manual manipulation of the present invention by a user. The lift assemblies are comprised of a screw type jack system or a hydraulic jack system. By differentiating the lift assemblies the user is able to manually twist the rail in the desired direction to create an alignment with the opposing rail. The pair of locking handles are preferably positioned upon a slide plate that is adjustably positioned upon the support base thereby allowing the user to adjust the horizontal position of the rail also. The present invention allows repositioning of the horizontal, vertical and rotational position of a rail which is desirable when welding two abutting rails.
