AREA Railway Standard Track

AREA Railway Standard Track

Steel rails, also known as iron rails, can be used in ports, docks, metallurgical steel mills, railroads, tunnels, mines, factories, etc… Its role is to guide the locomotive wheels, to withstand the enormous pressure of the wheels and to maintain the stability of railroad transportation. The rails must provide a continuous, smooth and minimal rolling surface for the wheels. In electrified railroads or automatic blocking sections, rails can also be used as track circuits. The material of the rails determines the safety and service life of the rails.

Welcome to inquire the price list and quotation, we are one of the leading railway track manufacturers and suppliers in China!

Crane Rails Railway Tracks description

XINGRAIL is an ISO 9001/2008 certified company. All processes are carried out in accordance with the requirements of ISO quality management system, from the supply of commodity control to the finished products out of the factory, we follow the standard procedures, and we have a strict quality control system for our suppliers:

  1. AREA Railway Standard Rails
    Before the production, we will check and test the raw materials, and we will ask the suppliers to provide the production batch number, chemical composition, mechanical properties, and other testing indexes.
  2. After the production of crane rail is completed, our quality control inspectors will carry out sample sampling and batch testing, and provide raw material certificates and other means to control the testing process.
  3. According to the different requirements of the crane rail , we will carry out the corresponding physical and chemical tests and inspections , if the results do not meet our requirements , as long as it meets our standards , we will refuse to accept the material.
  4. For semi-finished products of crane tracks and their external suppliers, we often organize quality control coordination meetings and provide technical advice and guidance. Ensure that qualified products are delivered to our customers before shipment.

Based on the technical parameters of the AREA Railway Standard Track (American Association of Railroad Engineering and Maintenance), the choice of crane rail clips depends primarily on the rail’s base width and the lateral force requirements of your crane.

Below are the recommended clip pairings for each specific AREA rail type listed on your page:

1. For Light-Duty Rails (90RA)

The 90RA rail has a base width of 130.18 mm. It is best suited for light to medium-duty gantry systems.

2. For Medium-Duty Rails (115RE)

The 115RE rail has a base width of 139.7 mm. This is a common choice for industrial workshops.

3. For Heavy-Duty Rails (136RE & 175LBs)

Both the 136RE and 175LBs rails have a base width of 152.4 mm (6 inches). These are used in extreme environments like mining tracks and container ports.

  • Bolted Option: 3224/20/44 Bolted Clips or 3222/17/44 – These larger clips are essential for the 152mm base to ensure the self-locking rubber tongue makes full contact with the rail flange.
  • Welded Option: 9220/20/45 Welded Fastening Clamp – This is the standard for heavy-haul AREA tracks. It offers a 20 mm adjustment range to compensate for installation tolerances on large steel beams.
  • Specialized Option: 7216/20/39 Welded Crane Rail Clamp – Often used in heavy container unloading bridges due to its high twisting force resistance.
