Key Features and Benefits
- Optimized Profile: The “A” series profile features a wide, flat top surface to evenly distribute the wheel load and a broad base to ensure maximum stability. This design is crucial for handling the immense, concentrated static and dynamic loads exerted by cranes.
- DIN Standard Compliance: Manufacturing to the DIN standard (likely DIN 536) guarantees that the rail meets specific dimensional tolerances and material properties, ensuring compatibility with standard crane wheels and safety requirements.
- Exceptional Durability: The use of high-quality steel and a robust profile gives the rail excellent resistance to wear, rolling contact fatigue, and deformation, even under heavy, repetitive use.
- Versatility: While specifically designed for cranes, its strength and profile make it suitable for a variety of other heavy-duty applications.
Applications
The A45 crane rail is a versatile and reliable choice for a number of industrial and mining uses:
- Overhead and Gantry Cranes: It is the standard track for light-to-medium duty overhead cranes and gantry systems in factories, warehouses, and workshops.
- Trolley Rails: Used to create stable and durable tracks for trolleys that transport heavy materials within industrial settings.
- Mining Rails: It can be used for specialized tracks in mining operations where a robust and stable path is required for machinery.
- Heavy-Duty Conveyors: Ideal for use in conveyor systems where a strong guide rail is needed to support heavy loads or a tripper car.
- General Industrial Applications: It is also used as a robust track for slipways and other applications where a strong, wide-based rail is required.
