What is the HS Code for A75 steel rail?
The global HS Code for DIN 536 A75 crane rail is categorized under the steel railway track construction material classification. Specifically, the A75 rail profile is assigned to HS Code 730210, which covers iron or steel rails for railway or tramway track. Depending on the country of import and local tariff schedules, additional subheadings are used to define the weight and material type:
- HS Code 7302.10.00: The primary international category for all railway rails made of iron or steel.
- Specific Sub-classifications: For the A75 steel rail, which has a weight of 56.2 kg/m, it is typically classified under sub-codes for rails exceeding 30 kg per meter .
DIN A75 Rail Dimensions
A75 rail profile are heavy-duty crane rails manufactured to European standard DIN 536 P1:1991, with a mass of 56.2 kg/m. Key dimensions include a 75 mm head width, 85 mm rail height, 200 mm base width, and a 45 mm web thickness, primarily used in industrial crane systems.

How does GNEE RAIL pack and ship the A75 rail profile?
To ensure structural integrity and prevent surface oxidation during international transit, the A75 rail profile is handled with specific heavy-duty bundling and moisture-protection protocols. GNEE's logistics process focuses on securing the rails against the mechanical stresses of maritime and land transport.
Packaging Specifications
- Standard Bundling: Rails are arranged in compact, hexagonal or square bundles to maximize space efficiency and stability. High-tensile steel strapping is applied at intervals of 2–3 meters to prevent shifting during lifting operations.
- Surface Protection: To combat the corrosive effects of sea air and humidity, the rails undergo a rust-preventative coating process. This involves applying a layer of anti-rust oil or bituminous paint, particularly on the machined ends and the rail head.
- Protective Wrapping: For long-distance sea freight, bundles are wrapped in UV-resistant woven plastic or heavy-duty waterproof fabric. This provides a barrier against moisture and salt spray, ensuring the steel arrives in prime condition.
- End Protection: Plastic or wooden caps are often fitted to the rail ends to protect the bolt holes and prevent impact damage during loading and unloading.
Shipping and Loading Protocols
GNEE utilize specialized loading techniques to accommodate the weight and length of A75 profiles, ensuring compliance with international shipping safety standards.
| Shipping Method / Category | Detailed Specifications & Procedures |
| Container Loading (20ft/40ft) |
• Dimensions: Shorter rail lengths (6m or 12m) are optimized for standard containers. • Timber Dunnage: Hardwood blocks placed between layers to prevent friction and distribute weight. • Lashing: Professional sea-worthy lashing with steel wires and turnbuckles. |
| Breakbulk Cargo |
• Applicability: Used for large infrastructure projects or extra-long rail sections. • Stowage: Loaded in lower holds for vessel stability. • Dunnage: Strategic separation of bundles to ensure easy and safe discharge at the port. |
| Logistics Documentation |
• MTC: Every shipment includes a Mill Test Certificate for chemical/mechanical verification. • Identification: Detailed packing lists and shipping marks on each bundle for easy tracking. |
FAQ
- How do I prevent the A75 rail from rusting during long-term sea freight?
Standard steel rails oxidize quickly in maritime environments. We apply a specialized anti-rust coating and use reinforced moisture-proof bundling for all A75 steel rail exports, ensuring the contact surfaces remain clean and ready for welding or bolting upon arrival.
- Can A75 rails be supplied in lengths other than the standard 12 meters?
Yes. While 12m is standard for container loading, we provide Custom Length services for the A75 profile to match specific bay spacings. However, lengths exceeding 12m may require specialized break-bulk shipping instead of standard 40ft containers.
- What is the maximum wheel load capacity for a standard A75 rail?
The load capacity depends on the A75 rail material grade and the underlying support structure (sole plates). Typically, a standard A75 track can support wheel loads up to 220-250 kN.
- How is the straightness of the A75 rail verified before shipment?
We perform precision straightening on every A75 rail profile. Our internal QA team uses multi-point laser measurement to ensure the vertical and horizontal deviation is within 0.5mm per meter, preventing crane "snaking" and excessive flange wear after installation.
