What are the characteristics of crane rails compared with ordinary rails

Steel rail, also called rail track, steel track, is the main component of railway track. Its function is to guide the wheels of the locomotive, bear the great pressure of the wheel, and keep the stability of railway transportation. The rail must provide continuous, smooth and minimum rolling surfaces for the wheels. In electrified railway or automatic block section, rail can also be used as an orbital circuit.

 

 

Key Features of the QU Series Crane Rails

Compared with ordinary steel rails, the QU series crane rail has a wide head, a small height, and a large rail waist, which is beneficial to improve the contact with the crane wheels and suitable for bearing horizontal loads.

 

Wide Head: The wider head increases contact with crane wheels, reducing wear and tear and improving stability.

Low Height: The lower profile helps maintain a lower center of gravity, which is beneficial for supporting heavy loads without excessive stress on the rail.

Thick Waist: A thicker rail waist provides extra support and resistance to deformation under high-pressure loads, ensuring longer service life.
