Steel rail, we also called the railway track, it is crucial to the steel railing system. As a rail component of the railway system, steel rail guides the train forward and bears the enormous pressure. Meanwhile, the steel rails convey the pressure to the railway sleepers. So steel rails play a big role in the railway system and the quality of the steel rails is much important.
As a professional rail fastener supplier, GNEE RAIL can provide different standard steel rail such as GB,American, BS, UIC, DIN, JIS, Australian and South Africa which used in railway lines, cranes and coal mining.
RAILROAD TRACK TYPES
DIN536 Crane rail
DIN536 crane rail is a widely used type of crane rail. It has a thick web and a wide bottom. This structure has a large bearing capacity, is stable and reliable, and is suitable for various types of cranes, port machinery, etc.
DIN536 crane rails include A45/A55/A65/A75/A100/A120/A150. The standard length is 12 meters.

| A120 | 120 | 105 | 200 | 72 | 100 | |
GNEE RAIL is one of the few suppliers in China that can supply DIN536 crane rails. We always keep various models in stock and can arrange mass production plans at the same time.
The DIN536 crane rail track has a shorter web. This structure is different from the regular train tracks. Generally, the rail connection is mostly connected by a fish plate. DIN536 mainly uses welded connections or chamfered butt joints. The use of 45-degree chamfering can reduce the vibration of the wheels at the joints of the track and improve the stability of the crane operation.
GNEE RAIL has a rail processing workshop, which can perform length cutting, 45-degree bevel cutting, 30-degree bevel cutting, bevel processing, etc. If you want to inquire more about the DIN536 crane rail, you can contat GNEE RAIL anytime.
QU Crane rail
The QU crane rail is a Chinese standard crane type. It includes the specifications of QU70/QU80/QU100/QU120. The most commonly used standard length is 12 meters, and the length of 9 meters, 10 meters, and 11 meters can also be customized.
| Classification | Height(mm) | Head (mm) | Bottom (mm) | Thick(mm) | Weight (kg/m) | |
| Crane Rail | QU 70 | 120 | 70 | 120 | 28 | 52.8 |
| QU 80 | 130 | 80 | 130 | 32 | 63.69 | |
| QU 100 | 150 | 100 | 150 | 38 | 88.96 | |
| QU 120 | 170 | 120 | 170 | 44 | 118.1 | |
The QU rail is one of the regular production track models. It has sufficient spot resources and complete specifications. Regular production scheduling can guarantee the shortest delivery time.
Compared with ordinary heavy rails, QU crane rails have a thicker web section. China is the world's crane production base. Many of our cranes use QU crane rails. Port construction also requires a lot of QU rails.
The QU lifting rail generally uses four-hole fish plates to connect. It is also available with welded or 45-degree beveled butt joints. We can provide processing services according to customer needs.
Light rail train tracks
Generally, we call a track with a weight of less than 30kg a light rail. Light rail is light in weight and small in load, with relatively low requirements. Light rail is mainly used for temporary transportation lines and light locomotive lines laid in forest areas, mining areas, factories, and construction sites.
The light train tracks material is Q235B and 55Q. Its specifications are 8kg/9kg/12kg/15kg/18kg/22kg/24kg/30kg.

GNEE RAIL supplies mines with light train tracks material year-round. At the same time, we also provide customers with matching rail accessories. This includes spikes, fishplates, clips, bolts, etc.
Heavy rail train tracks
The Chinese standard heavy rail is a rail with a meter weight greater than 30 kilograms. It is a track on which heavy vehicles run. Because the rail has to bear a large weight, the rail is thicker and heavier, and the specification requirements of the rail are relatively high. Before leaving the factory, in addition to testing the chemical composition, it also needs to test the mechanical properties, drop weight test, etc.
The material of the heavy rail is U71Mn. Its specifications are 38kg/43kg/50kg/60kg/75kg.
| Classification | Height(mm) | Head (mm) | Bottom (mm) | Thick(mm) | Weight (kg/m) | |
| Heavy Rail | 38 KG/M | 134 | 68 | 114 | 13 | 38.733 |

| Steel Grade | C(%) | Si | Mn | Cr | V | P | S | Tensile Strength (Rm/MPa) |
| U71Mn | 0.65~0.76 | 0.15~0.58 | 0.70~1.40 | – | – | ≤0.035 | ≤0.030 | ≥880 |
Scope of heavy rail train tracks: National standard interregional railways (including high-speed railways and heavy-haul railways), intercity railways, urban railways, and subways in urban rail transit are all heavy rail railways.
In addition, some projects will also use heavy rails as crane rails. We regularly supply 43kg and 50kg heavy rails for crane systems. The 50kg railway track can be used as a replacement option for the S49 track. Similar size specifications and lower costs can reduce the customer's engineering budget.
EN standard railroad tracks
EN 13674-4 Railway applications – train tracks. This standard specifies flat bottom Vignole railway rails from 27 kg/m to, but excluding 46 kg/m.
Eight pearlitic steel grades are specified covering a rail hardness range of 200 HBW to 440 HBW and including non-heat-treated non-alloy steels, non-heat-treated alloy steels, heat-treated non-alloy steels, and heat-treated alloy steels.
The 54E1(UIC54) and 60E1(UIC60) models are most commonly available from GNEE RAIL. These two models are mostly used in international railway construction projects. Lengths can be produced according to customer requirements. GNEE RAIL can produce fishplates, clips, and other accessories for UIC54 and UIC60 railway track.
