FAQ

Common Questions

What crane rail sizes do you stock in Australia?
We source A-series crane rail from A45 through to A120, covering the full range of common overhead and gantry crane runway applications. Standard rail from 41kg to 68kg is also available, along with light rail from 10kg to 37kg. If you're unsure of the right profile, send us your project details and we'll advise.
Can you supply small or urgent orders with no minimum quantity?
Yes. We have no minimum order requirement. We regularly assist with single lengths, small clip orders and urgent project needs. Stock is held in Brisbane and Cairns for fast dispatch across Australia.
Can you help identify and replace obsolete rail like BHP 60lb?
Yes — this is one of our most common enquiries. Many older Australian industrial sites still run on out-of-production profiles like BHP 60lb (31kg) rail. We can help identify the correct modern equivalent and supply a compatible replacement section with matching fishplates or fastening systems.
Do you supply complete fastening systems or just individual components?
Both. We can supply individual components — a single clip size, a box of fishplates — or complete fastening systems including rail, clips, sole plates, hook bolts and joining components. We can also assist with cut lengths and drilled rail through our supply network.
Where do you deliver to in Australia?
We deliver Australia-wide. Our primary distribution points are Hemmant (Brisbane) and Portsmith (Cairns), which allows us to service Queensland and interstate projects efficiently. For large project supply we can also source internationally to meet volume and lead time requirements.
