LightRail 5.0 Auxiliary Rail

Add a Second Crossbar Path to a LightRail 5 System

Expanding a light mover to a third crossbar means giving that extra fixture its own stretch of track to travel, since a single rail already carrying two crossbars doesn't have the length to spare for a third. This Auxiliary Rail pairs with a second Add-A-Bar Kit to accommodate a 3-crossbar LightRail 5 system, giving the mover the extra track length that setup needs.

Because travel across a seam between rails isn't necessary in this configuration, the Auxiliary Rail ships without rail alignment pins, packed in a tube with mounting hardware and instructions.

Key Features & Benefits

• Extended Track Section — extends the travel path for a third crossbar on a LightRail 5 system.
• No Alignment Pins Needed — simplified design since seam travel isn't required in this setup.
• Tube Packaging — ships in a protective tube with hardware and instructions included.
• Pairs with a Second Add-A-Bar Kit — combines to support a full 3-crossbar configuration.
• Compatible with LightRail 5 Systems — works specifically with existing LightRail 5 complete systems.

Who Should Use this Auxiliary Rail

This rail fits growers expanding a LightRail 5 system to 3 crossbars who already own, or are purchasing, a second Add-A-Bar Kit for the same mover, since the two parts are designed to work together rather than separately.

How It Pairs with the Add-A-Bar Kit

The Auxiliary Rail is not a standalone product; it works alongside a second LightRail 5 Add-A-Bar Kit so the system can support 3 total crossbars instead of the standard 2 that most LightRail 5 systems ship with.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use this rail on its own?

No, it's designed to pair with a second LightRail 5 Add-A-Bar Kit for a 3-crossbar setup. On its own, the rail doesn't add crossbar capacity.

Why doesn't this rail have alignment pins?

Because travel across a seam between rail sections isn't necessary in this particular configuration, the pins are left out of the design. That simplifies both the part and the installation.

What does the package include?

The rail section, mounting hardware, and instructions, packed in a protective tube. Everything needed to physically install the extended track ships together.

Is this compatible with LightRail 3.5 systems?

No, this Auxiliary Rail is built specifically for LightRail 5 systems. LightRail 3.5 uses different hardware and isn't compatible with this part.

How many crossbars can my system reach with this rail?

Up to 3 crossbars when paired with a second Add-A-Bar Kit. The rail on its own only extends the track; the crossbar itself comes from the Add-A-Bar Kit.
