Crane rail is a special kind of rail track providing a running surface for various types of cranes such as gantry cranes, overhead cranes. QU crane rails are mainly applied in big projects including wharf, ports and yards. The sizes of crane rail needed are decided by the wheel of cranes. For the safe operation of cranes, there is a certain distance between the rail surface and crane wheel rim. Therefore, it doesn't mean the larger width of the rail head is better. Suitable crane rail size is recommended for clients to fit the specific model of crane.
How to Select the Right QU Crane Rail
Assess Load Requirements
Evaluate crane type and lifting capacity to match the appropriate rail size-e.g., QU120 is ideal for cranes handling over 100 tons of load regularly.
| Rail Type | SIZE(mm) | theoretical weight | |||||||||
| height | bottom width | head width | waist depth | ||||||||
| Crane rail | QU70 | 120 | 120 | 70 | 28 | 52.8 | |||||
| QU80 | 130 | 130 | 80 | 32 | 63.69 | ||||||
| QU100 | 150 | 150 | 100 | 38 | 88.96 | ||||||
| QU120 | 170 | 170 | 120 | 44 | 118.1 | ||||||
Consider Environmental Needs
Select U71Mn steel grade when operating in harsh environments such as coastal ports or impact-prone zones requiring high strength and corrosion resistance.
| Steel Grade | C(%) | Si | Mn | Cr | V | P | S | Tensile Strength (Rm/MPa) |
| U71Mn | 0.65~0.76 | 0.15~0.58 | 0.70~1.40 | – | – | ≤0.035 | ≤0.030 | ≥880 |
Define Track Lengths Accurately
Rails can be custom-cut to exact project specifications, ensuring seamless layout integration, minimal welding, and efficient installation on-site.
