What is the dimension of QU120 rail

Sep 29, 2025

QU120 crane rail is one of the highest load-bearing models in the GB crane rail series. It is designed for ultra-heavy-duty applications. These include port gantry cranes and large overhead cranes in metallurgical plants with high wheel pressures. Its cross-sectional dimensions and weight far exceed those of standard railway heavy rails.

 

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

 

The nominal height of QU120 rail is approximately 170 mm. The rail head width is approximately 120 mm. The rail base width is approximately 170 mm. The web thickness is approximately 32 mm. Its theoretical weight is approximately 118 kg/m. This design features a wide head, thick web, and widened base. It effectively distributes wheel pressure and impact forces during high-frequency lifting operations. This extends the service life of both the track and the wheels.

In practical engineering, selecting QU120 involves more than just single rail weight and cross-section. It requires matching with suitable rail pads, hold-down plates, anchorages, and track foundations. For example, port quayside cranes and metallurgical ladle cars often require the rails to be integrally cast with concrete foundations. This is combined with high-strength bolts or welded rail clamps. This ensures stability and long-term precision.
