What is the dimension of QU100 rail

Sep 29, 2025

The QU100 crane rail is one of the widely used heavy-duty crane rails in the GB standard. It is commonly used for port gantry cranes, large overhead cranes in metallurgical plants, and heavy-duty warehouse systems. Its cross-section is wider and thicker than standard railway heavy rails, enabling it to withstand frequent starts, stops, and high wheel pressures.

 

Classification Height(mm) Head (mm) Bottom (mm) Thick(mm) Weight (kg/m)
Heavy Rail 38 KG/M 134 68 114 13 38.733
43 KG/M 140 70 114 14.5 44.653
45 KG/M 145 67 126 14.5 45.546
50 KG/M 152 70 132 15.5 51.514
60 KG/M 176 73 150 16.5 60.64

 

Standard dimensions (with minor variations depending on manufacturing tolerances) are as follows:

 

  • Height: approx. 150 mm
  • Head width: approx. 100 mm
  • Base width: approx. 150 mm
  • Web thickness: approx. 28 mm
  • Theoretical weight: approx. 88.9 kg/m

 

QU100 rail

 

This sectional design provides ample bending strength and fatigue resistance. It effectively distributes the impact loads from heavy crane wheels. Compared to QU70 or QU80, QU100 offers higher load-bearing capacity and wear life. It is suitable for applications with large spans, high wheel pressures, and high operating frequency. Compared to the larger QU120 specification, it offers a better balance between cost and installation convenience.
