Crane Rails
Steel mills have been producing rail steels for over a century. During this time their designs have changed, reflecting the diversity of applications – in the rail industry, this development hasn’t been readily available.
Each rail application is different and must be engineered to maximise efficiency and lifespan, therefore the selection of the correct rail is critical to achieving this end.
Working closely with suppliers provides Rapid Rail with an extremely flexible product offering:
- Various lengths to suit your application.
- Normal or high grade steels.
- Mitre cut or machined to specific design and size.
- Curved rail (such as circular water tanks).
- Drilled or un-drilled.
- Modified to any design, within reason.
The closure of the Corus Workington plant has halted the supply of the UK Rail Sections. Please contact Rapid Rail for guidance and assistance with alternative sections.
The table below represents some of the most commonly used rail sections. It is by no means exhaustive. Other rail sections are available. Please contact us for further details.
