Crane Rails

What are Crane Rails

A speciality rail used for tracks for high-capacity lifting cranes, mainly in overhead crane runways and gantry cranes. Crane rails are used in seaports, warehouses, industrial sheds, construction companies, coke oven battery passages, and for underground mine trackage.

Crane Rail Differs From Railway Track Rails In Two Aspects:

  • Heavier crane rail has a much thicker web than normal track rail, making it a very distinctive section.
  • The Base width is always equal to the height of the rail

CR150(JSPL Specification) with their wide base, low centre of Gravity, and wide web are ideal for high side thrust. The demand is mainly for Steel Plants such as Steel Making Units-Electric Arc Furnaces Units, LD Converter, Heavy Duty Motor Room, Roll Grinding Shops, and Ports and Refineries.

Due to a progressive increase of the vertical loads of cranes on some special projects, the requirements for rail with a greater strength and gardening surface are desirable. JSPL has successfully developed Heavy Crane Rail-CR150(150kg/m) and CR 120 (118kg/m)

FAQs

Crane rail is used to provide a dedicated track or runway for cranes and other heavy machinery to move along, facilitating the safe and efficient transport of heavy loads in various industrial and construction settings. 

Crane rails are typically made of steel, specifically, they are often constructed from high-strength, durable steel materials to withstand the heavy loads and constant wear and tear associated with crane operations.
