Project Overview
Efficient rail transportation and storage require reliable rail handling equipment to ensure safe and stable operations. For companies handling long steel rails, suitable lifting solutions can improve loading efficiency while reducing risks during material movement.
In this project, Glory Track supplied customized equipment for a Canadian logistics service provider to support the handling of 115RE rails. The solution was designed to lift multiple long rails simultaneously, helping optimize the customer’s storage and transportation process.
Customer Background
The customer is a Canadian company specializing in warehousing, transportation, and logistics services. Their business involves managing and moving large quantities of steel rails, requiring efficient and dependable rail transportation solutions.
Because different rail profiles have different dimensions, standard lifting tools may not always provide accurate gripping performance. The customer needed a customized solution that could match their existing 115RE rail system and improve operational efficiency.
Project Requirements
During the initial inquiry stage, the customer was looking for a lifting solution that could handle both 115RE and 136RE rails.
After reviewing the technical specifications and preparing the production drawings, Glory Track’s engineering team confirmed that one design could not be used for both rail types.
The main challenge was the difference in rail head width. Since the gripping mechanism must accurately match the rail profile, the equipment needed to be customized according to the specific rail type.
Based on the customer’s actual application, Glory Track finalized the design specifically for 115RE rail handling.
Customized Rail Handling Solution
Glory Track provided two customized units designed for the customer’s rail handling requirements.
The equipment was developed based on the dimensions of 115RE rail and optimized for long rail transportation. Each unit can grip and lift eight pieces of 80-foot-long rails at one time, improving efficiency compared with traditional single-rail handling methods.
Key features include:
- Customized design for 115RE rail handling
- Capable of lifting multiple long rails simultaneously
- Stable gripping performance during transportation
- Designed according to customer drawings and operating requirements
- Suitable for industrial rail storage and transportation applications
Manufacturing and Delivery
After confirming the technical drawings, Glory Track started the manufacturing process according to the customer’s requirements.
Before shipment, the finished equipment was inspected to ensure that the structure, dimensions, and gripping system matched the approved design.
For international transportation, the equipment was securely packed in wooden cases to prevent damage during ocean shipping.
The cargo was shipped from Tianjin Port, China, at the end of July 2026.
Project Result
By supplying customized rail handling equipment, Glory Track helped the Canadian customer improve the efficiency and safety of their long rail transportation operations.
This project highlights the importance of selecting equipment that matches the exact rail profile. A properly designed solution provides better stability, safer operation, and reliable performance in demanding logistics environments.
