Characteristics of crane rails

Crane rails are a key component of the infrastructure of many crane systems, characterized by high resistance to static and dynamic loads. These rails are manufactured from high-quality steel and exhibit bending resistance and wear resistance, which are key to maintaining the safety and efficiency of crane operations.

The manufacturing process of crane rails begins with the selection of the right grade of steel, which is critical to the properties of the final product. The steel is then subjected to a hot-rolling process to achieve the required shapes and dimensions. After rolling, the rails are cooled in a controlled manner, ensuring that their mechanical properties, such as hardness and strength, are optimized. The next stage is machining, which includes cutting to size (including cutting at an angle).

Crane rails are also characterized by their profile, designed to allow the crane wheel to move smoothly along the rail, minimizing the risk of derailment. The rails are also designed to withstand a wide variety of weather conditions, especially in outdoor environments, requiring appropriate protective coatings and maintenance methods.

Crane rail profiles

We offer crane rails with profiles A45, A55, A65/SD65, A75/SD75, A100/SD100, A120 and A150. These crane rail profiles mainly differ in dimensions and strength, which determines their use in different types of cranes and working environments.

• A45 and A55 - are relatively smaller, ideal for lighter structures. They are characterized by lower strength, but are more economical.
• A65/SD65 and A75/SD75 - more versatile, increased strength makes them suitable for medium loads.
• A100/SD100 and A120 - designed for heavier duty, provide greater strength and stability.
• A150 - the largest and most robust profiles, designed for the heaviest industrial applications.

Features:

• Each profile has exact dimensions, ensuring compatibility and ease of installation.
• Various load strength levels to suit specific needs.

Advantages:

• Wide selection of profiles to suit specific project requirements.
• Ability to select the most appropriately priced profile for a given application.

Disadvantages:

• Larger profiles can be more difficult to install and require more space.
• Larger and more robust profiles are more expensive, which can affect the overall cost of a project.

Steel grades

Steel 700 (690 MPa):

Features:

• Characterized by high loading strength and good flexibility.
• Advantages:
• Good wear resistance, which extends the life of rails.
• Better flexibility compared to higher hardness steels, which minimizes the risk of cracking.

Disadvantages:

• Lower hardness than 900 steel, which can lead to faster wear.

Steel 900 (880 MPa):

Features:

• Has higher hardness and wear resistance than 700 steel.

Advantages:

• Increased wear resistance, especially in high-traffic areas.
• Longer service life in harsh operating conditions.

Disadvantages:

• Higher hardness can lead to greater brittleness, increasing the risk of cracking.
• Higher production cost compared to 700 steel.

Crane rail applications

A45:

• Mainly used in lightweight lifting systems such as small freight cranes and workshop cranes.

A55:

• Used in medium lift systems such as cranes in residential buildings and small shopping centers.

A65/SD65:

• Ideal for medium-sized industrial cranes, used in warehouses and small manufacturing plants.

A75/SD75:

• Used in larger industrial crane systems, such as cranes in large warehouses and manufacturing plants.

A100/SD100:

• Used in very heavy industrial structures, including large manufacturing plants and construction projects.

A120:

• They are used in large engineering and construction projects where very high strength and stability are required.

A150:

• Used in the toughest industrial conditions, including large-scale construction and engineering projects requiring superior strength and stability.

Advice for investors

• Determine requirements - Define the exact load requirements and operating conditions for the crane.
• Select a steel grade - Choose a steel grade suitable for operating conditions (e.g., corrosion-resistant steel for outdoor structures).
• Profile selection - Decide on a suitable rail profile depending on the strength requirements and crane type.
• Quality control - make sure the rails are certified and meet appropriate quality standards.
• Supplier analysis - choose a reliable supplier with good references and industry experience.
• Compatibility assurance - check that the selected rails are compatible with the rest of the crane system.
• Availability analysis - pay attention to rail availability and delivery dates to avoid project delays.
• Evaluate total cost - consider not only the purchase price, but also the cost of installation, maintenance and possible repairs.

Storage of crane rails

Proper storage of crane rails is key to maintaining their quality and functionality. Our recommendations:

• Dry storage - provide a dry and well-ventilated space for storing rails to prevent corrosion.
• Protection from damage - use protective pads to avoid direct contact of rails with the ground and potential damage.
• Laying horizontally - rails should be laid horizontally on stable supports evenly spaced along their length.
• Tipping protection - make sure rails are properly secured to prevent accidental tipping.
• Marking and identification - clearly mark the rails for easy identification and quick access to the desired profiles.
• Access to rails - ensure easy access to rails to avoid unnecessary movement, which can lead to damage.
• Regular condition checks - regularly check the condition of stored rails to quickly detect and prevent potential problems.

FAQ

What are crane rails made of?

Crane rails are mainly made from carbon steel, which is properly hardened and heat-treated to achieve the desired mechanical properties. The choice of a particular type of steel depends on the requirements for strength, hardness, flexibility and resistance to wear and corrosion.

The two basic types of steel that are often used to manufacture crane rails are:
1.700(690MPa) steel - this is the general name for a fairly high strength steel that is often used in crane structures for its strength and durability.
2.steel 900(880 MPa) - is an even higher strength steel that is used in more demanding applications where additional strength and resistance to high loads are needed.

In addition, to improve durability and corrosion resistance, crane rails can be subjected to processes such as galvanizing or anti-corrosion painting. Surface treatment of such rails is crucial, especially if they are to be used in high humidity environments or where they may be exposed to aggressive chemicals.
