American Crane Rails
American crane rails are a key component in overhead crane and material handling systems across North and South America. Manufactured to ASTM A759 standards in sizes from 104 to 175 lbs/yd, these CR rails feature a balanced design with nearly equal base and height for stable installation and long service life. Produced in multiple steel grades, they deliver high load capacity, wear resistance, and reliable performance in demanding industrial environments.
Manufacturing & Processing of ASTM Crane Rails
ASTM crane rails are hot-rolled to achieve precise dimensions and a uniform internal structure, ensuring full compliance with ASTM A759 standards. Standard lengths range from 12 to 24 meters, with customization available. Additional processing services—such as drilling, cutting, and end-face welding—allow rails to be tailored to project requirements. To extend service life in harsh environments, optional surface treatments including sandblasting, painting, and galvanizing are also offered.

American Crane Rail Material Parameter
American crane rails are manufactured primarily from U71Mn steel under ASTM A759 standards. This manganese steel provides high strength, wear resistance, and long service life. Alternative grades are also available to match specific load and project requirements.

FAQ
How do I select the right American crane rail size for my crane system?
Choosing the correct rail depends on crane type, wheel load, operating frequency, and site conditions. Our engineers can calculate the optimal profile and steel grade to match your project’s requirements.
How do surface treatments improve rail durability?
Options such as sandblasting, painting, or galvanizing protect rails against corrosion, extending service life in coastal, humid, or high-dust environments.
What are the packaging and delivery options for international projects?
Rails are bundled with steel straps, end-protected, and loaded into containers or bulk vessels. We provide seaworthy packing and coordinate logistics for global delivery.
