    Abstract: The present application describes a rail clip assembly, particularly but not exclusively for securing a crane rail to a flanged girder. The rail clip assembly comprises a body member (1) which has a base portion (2) for connection a rail support surface (3) and a lip portion (4) which can, in use, overlie an edge of a rail (5). The body member has a first surface (6) which, in use, extends parallel to the rail and abuts a lateral face of the rail, a second surface (8) facing away from the first surface and an elongate slot (9) for receiving a connector for connecting the body member to the rail support surface. The slot (9) extends in a direction which is generally inclined with respect to the first surface (6). The assembly further comprises a pivoting member (13) which pivots about a point which is located on the body member, the pivoting member including an aperture (14) for registration with the slot (9) and for receiving the connector.
