Custom Steel Rail Services from GNEE RAIL
- Custom Bending: Curved rails for crane tracks, mining systems, or circular applications. GNEE RAIL support hot and cold bending based on profile and radius needs.
- Precision Drilling: End or center drilling can be performed based on customer drawings or standard templates, allowing for the installation of fishplates or bolts.
- Angle Cutting/Beveling: Rails can be cut to specific angles for tight-fitting joints or welding preparation. Clean edges with minimal deformation.

- End Milling or Grinding: Flat milling or grinding of rail ends is available for applications requiring high alignment precision, such as long rail welding.
- Surface Treatment (Sandblasting & Anti-Rust Oiling): Sandblasting: Removes scale and rust to improve surface adhesion; Oiling: Anti-rust oil coating protects the rails during long-distance or marine transportation.
- Rail Bending: Curved rails can be custom-bent to a specified radius for use in turning sections, such as metro systems or mining railways. Detailed drawings or parameters from the customer are required.
- Rail Welding: Long rail welding services are available, mainly for large-scale railway construction projects.
Since 2008, GNEE RAIL has been supplying steel rails of different grades for more than 18 years, steel rails from GNEE is highly recommened in China and abroad.Wtih cutting edge equipment, GNEE produces high quality steel rails that meet with requirements of most countries.
