Gantrail are a full solution provider and can supply all elements of your crane rail system from the rail down to the fasteners.  For over 55 years, we have supplied a large variety of International crane rail and railway rail profiles to clients and their projects worldwide.  Let us know your project requirements and we can advise you regarding availability, design, and alternative selections if your desired rail is not available or appropriate.  Our experts understand that the approach to selection of rails differs around the world, so we can confidently advise you on appropriate rail selection and capacities depending on local availability and steel strengths.

There are well over 100 rail selections to choose from. The main types are as follows:

The crane supplier may suggest a rail but if he does not, then as a minimum he should supply the head width of the rail. In designing or checking an installation it is our practice to try to check that the rail will be suitable, i.e.

Rail Drawings

A problem arises when a rail is chosen that is infrequently rolled. Steel Mills normally concentrate on rolling commonly used products and crane rails are not always given priority. As a consequence Gantrail often have to suggest an alternative section. As there may be insufficient information to carry out a full check of the rail, Gantrail have developed systems that will give a good measure of confidence at an early stage in the project cycle.

Crane Rail steels are formulated to give high wear resistance together with a suitable tensile strength. The strength ranges from 550N/mm to 1100N/mm but are typically in the range 600 to 900N/mm.

Gantrail have details on rails from the following countries:

We can supply drawings in PDF or DWG format and we have extensive information on the sections that have been drawn and had all their properties checked and tabulated.
