A45 Crane Rail
A45 Crane Rail, named for its 45 mm head width under DIN 536 P1:1991 standards (also referred to as Rail A45 DIN536 or Rail Type A45), is a light-duty rail hot-rolled from Manganese steel to balance strength and toughness. With a low-height, wide-base design and thick web, it resists moderate wheel pressures and impacts. Weighing 22.1 kg/m, the A45 rail weight ensures reliable performance for light-duty crane tracks. Its precise A45 rail dimensions provide smooth operation for small gantry cranes in workshops, overhead hoists on assembly lines, and portable maintenance trolleys in warehouses, making it ideal for applications where easy installation, cost-effectiveness, and consistent operation under intermittent loads are crucial.
