The A65 crane rail is a specialized, heavy-duty track component manufactured to the stringent DIN standard (German Institute of Standards). Designed with a robust profile for heavy-duty crane systems, this rail provides a stable, durable, and reliable foundation for the most demanding industrial and mining applications. It is supplied in a standard length of 12 meters.

Key Features and Benefits
The A65 crane rail’s unique profile and adherence to the DIN standard make it a superior choice for heavy-duty crane systems. Its design features are optimized for maximum stability and extreme load distribution.
- 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. The A65’s larger dimensions provide enhanced support and resistance to bending under the heaviest loads.
- 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 heavy crane wheels and critical safety requirements.
- Exceptional Durability: The rail’s robust profile and use of high-quality steel provide excellent resistance to wear, rolling contact fatigue, and deformation, even under intense and repetitive use in the most challenging industrial environments.
Applications
The A65 crane rail is a reliable choice for a number of high-load industrial and mining uses:
- Heavy Overhead and Gantry Cranes: It’s the standard track for heavy-duty overhead and gantry crane systems in steel mills, ports, foundries, and large-scale manufacturing facilities.
- Mining Rails: It can be used for specialized tracks in mining operations where a robust and stable path is required for massive, custom-built machinery.
- Port and Shipyard Cranes: Ideal for large-scale container cranes and shipyard gantry cranes that handle immense weights.
- General Industrial Applications: It is also used as a robust track for heavy slipways and other applications where a strong, wide-based rail is required.
