The A150 crane rail is a specialized, extra-heavy-duty track component manufactured to the stringent DIN standard (German Institute of Standards). This rail represents the pinnacle of the A-series, designed with a massive profile to provide an exceptionally stable, durable, and reliable foundation for the most critical industrial applications. It is supplied in a standard length of 12 meters.

Key Features and Benefits
The A150 crane rail’s immense profile and adherence to the DIN standard make it the ultimate choice for the most demanding crane systems and industrial machinery. Its design features are optimized for maximum stability and extreme load distribution.
- Ultimate Load-Bearing Capacity: The A150’s massive profile, with its wide head and base, is engineered for maximum stability and an enormous load-bearing capacity. It is specifically designed to handle the concentrated wheel loads of the largest cranes and specialized machinery.
- 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 the heaviest crane wheels and critical safety requirements.
- Exceptional Durability: The rail’s robust profile provides superior resistance to wear, rolling contact fatigue, and deformation, even under continuous, intense use in the most challenging industrial environments.
Applications
The A150 crane rail is essential for a number of high-load industrial and mining uses:
- Port and Container Cranes: It is the standard track for the largest container cranes and bulk material handlers at ports, where immense weights and constant operation are the norm.
- Car-Dumpers: This rail is specifically suited for use in car-dumper systems in mining and bulk material handling, where it must withstand the immense shock loads and weight of fully loaded wagons as they are tipped.
- Steel Mills and Foundries: Used for cranes that handle ladles of molten metal or other heavy-duty machinery where a track of ultimate strength is required.
- Heavy-Duty Industrial Transport: It is also used as a robust track for slipways and other applications that demand a strong, wide-based rail capable of withstanding the heaviest loads.
