Product Features & Advantages
Structural design benefits
Wide base, low center of gravity: 175 mm base width provides superior stability and strong anti-tilt performance for heavy and frequent lifting operations.
Thickened web: 38 mm web thickness disperses load effectively, reduces stress concentration and extends service life.
Precision head design: 65 mm head width optimizes wheel/rail contact to reduce wear and provide smoother operation.
Performance advantages
High load capacity: Suitable for long-term repeated loads from 40–80 tonne class cranes.
Extended service life: U71Mn material offers approximately 30% better wear resistance than standard rail steel, lowering maintenance frequency.
Excellent fatigue resistance: Designed for continuous 24/7 operation with fatigue life exceeding 500,000 cycles.
Easy installation: Can be fixed directly to concrete foundations or steel girder structures; compatible fastening systems are available.
