Key Features and Benefits
The MRS 87B / CR175 crane rail’s massive profile and adherence to the ARCELOR standard make it a top choice for the most demanding applications.
- Ultimate Load-Bearing Capacity: With a calculated mass of 175 kg/m, this rail provides superior stability and an enormous load-bearing capacity. It is specifically engineered to handle the intense concentrated loads from the heaviest cranes and industrial machinery, such as those found in steelworks and ports.
- Specialized Profile: The unique geometry of this rail is designed for optimal performance in heavy-duty applications, providing a stable foundation and exceptional resistance to bending and fatigue.
- ARCELOR Standard: Manufacturing to the ARCELOR standard ensures top-tier quality and metallurgy. This standard guarantees the rail’s physical properties and dimensional tolerances, which are critical for safety and operational efficiency in high-stress environments.
- Exceptional Durability: The rail’s robust profile and premium steel composition provide superior resistance to wear, rolling contact fatigue, and deformation, even under continuous, intense use.
Applications
The MRS 87B / CR175 crane rail is essential for a number of high-load industrial and mining uses:
- Stacker/Reclaimers: It provides a stable and durable track for these massive machines used for bulk material handling at ports and in mining operations.
- Steelworks Cranes: This rail is the ideal choice for cranes in steel mills that handle ladles of molten metal and other immense, high-temperature loads.
- Port & Wharf Cranes: It’s a key component for cranes at ports and wharves, where it must withstand the immense weights of container and bulk cargo handling.
- General Crane & Mining: It’s also used for specialized tracks in mining and other industrial applications where a robust and reliable rail is required for heavy machinery.
