Crane Rail — DIN 536

A100 Crane Rail — Supplied Across Australia

Inform Rail supplies DIN 536 A100 crane rail for heavy duty overhead crane runways and industrial applications across Australia. The A100 sits between the A75 and A120 in the DIN 536 range and is specified for demanding applications where wheel loads are high and the A75 is no longer sufficient.

The A100 features a 100mm head width with the 200mm foot shared with the A75, but with a deeper section and heavier web that significantly increases its load capacity and rigidity. It is commonly found on ship loader runways, container crane systems, heavy fabrication facilities and mining infrastructure. Matched fastening systems including clips, pads, fishplates and sole plates can be supplied to suit the profile.

FAQ

A100 Crane Rail: Common Questions

What is A100 crane rail used for?
A100 crane rail is used for heavy duty overhead crane runways in ports, bulk handling terminals and large industrial operations where wheel loads are high and the A75 is no longer sufficient. It is commonly specified for ship loaders, container crane systems, stacker reclaimers and heavy fabrication facility cranes.
What are the dimensions of A100 crane rail?
DIN 536 A100 crane rail has a head width of 100mm, a height of 95mm, a foot width of 200mm and a web thickness of 60mm. The mass is approximately 74.3 kg per metre. These dimensions are defined by the DIN 536 standard and are consistent across compliant manufacturers.
What clips are compatible with A100 crane rail?
Compatible welded clips for A100 include the M120 and M165. Compatible bolted clips include the CLX-20 and CLX-24. Clip selection depends on the installation method, substructure type and load requirements. Send us your drawings or crane details and we'll advise on the correct clip.
What is the difference between A100 and A75 crane rail?
Both A75 and A100 share the same 200mm foot width, but the A100 has a wider head (100mm vs 75mm), greater height (95mm vs 85mm) and a heavier web (60mm vs 45mm). This gives the A100 significantly higher load capacity and rigidity. A100 is specified when wheel loads exceed what the A75 can accommodate or when the application involves very heavy crane systems such as port equipment or large industrial cranes.
Can A100 crane rail be supplied cut to length?
Yes. A100 crane rail can be cut to your specified lengths prior to dispatch. Standard lengths are 12m. Drilling to your bolt pattern is also available. Include your cutting and drilling requirements in your enquiry.
Can Inform Rail supply a complete A100 fastening system?
Yes. We can supply matched A100 crane rail clips, fishplates, sole plates, rail pads and hook bolts as a complete package. Send us your rail profile, substructure details and any drawings and we'll quote a complete fastening system. No minimum order applies.
