Light and Heavy Crane Rail
Birmingham Rail carries one of the industry's most complete crane rail inventories, spanning light ASCE sections from 12# through 85# and heavy crane sections from 104# through 175#. We also stock the full line of European standard A-series rail, including A45, A55, A65, A75, A100, and A120, so you can match nearly any runway specification from a single source.
Crane Rail Catalog
A.S.C.E. Rail (12# – 85#)
Standardized by the American Society of Civil Engineers, these lighter T-rail sections are measured by weight per yard and serve light industrial track, material handling, and smaller crane runways. Their versatile, widely used profile makes them a dependable choice wherever lighter-duty rail is required.

CRANE Rail (104# – 175#)
Purpose-built for the concentrated wheel loads of overhead cranes, these heavy sections feature a wide, thick head and stout profile engineered to resist wear in demanding service. Ideal for high capacity runways in steel mills, foundries, ports, and heavy manufacturing, crane rail stands up to the punishment that would quickly wear standard track rail.

A Type Rail (A45 – A120)
Built to the European DIN 536 standard, these crane rails are measured by head width in millimeters and are engineered for equipment designed to run on metric profiles. Often hard to find from domestic suppliers, the A series is the go-to choice for imported machinery, port equipment, and cranes built to European specifications.
