What are the dimensions of A45 crane rail?
DIN 536 A45 crane rail has a head width of 45mm, a height of 55mm, a foot width of 125mm and a web thickness of 24mm. The mass is approximately 22.1 kg per metre. These dimensions are defined by the DIN 536 standard and are consistent across compliant manufacturers.
What clips are compatible with A45 crane rail?
Compatible welded clips for A45 include the M71, which is the most commonly supplied welded clip for lighter crane rail profiles. Compatible bolted clips include the CL3-12, CL4-16 and CL4-20. 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.
Is A45 the right profile for my overhead crane?
A45 is suited to light duty overhead crane systems where wheel loads are low. If your crane has moderate to higher wheel loads, A55 or A65 may be more appropriate. The correct profile depends on wheel load, crane duty class, runway span and support spacing. Send us your crane specification and we'll advise on whether A45 is suitable or whether a larger section is needed.
Can A45 crane rail be supplied cut to length?
