45E3 Rail
Product Overview
45E3 rail (also called RN45 rail)is engineered to deliver uncompromising performance in heavy-duty industrial environments, combining extreme strength, wear resistance, and precision engineering. Compliant with EN 13674-4 standards, this rail is manufactured from premium steel grades (R200, R260, R260Mn, R350HT) to resist wear, fatigue.

aterial & Mechanical Properties
Standards:
EN 13674-4 (rail geometry); ISO 9001:2015 (quality management)
Steel Grades:
R260 (260–300 HBW, ≥880 MPa tensile strength): Standard for mainline freight (axle loads up to 25 tons) and regional passenger lines.
R260Mn (enhanced Mn content, ≥900 MPa tensile strength): Optimized for high-wear environments (mining, ports).
R300HT (heat-treated, 300–340 HBW, ≥1080 MPa tensile strength): For ultra-heavy haul (30+ ton axles) and high-speed (≥200 km/h) applications.
Customization Services
Rail Processing: Pre-drilled bolt patterns (M20–M24), stress-relieved end machining, and mill-certified weld preparation .
Accessories:
Rail Clamps
Rubber Pads: 5–15 mm thickness for vibration damping in rail systems.
Fish Plates & bolts: for secure rail joints .
Applications
Industrial Cranes
Supports overhead cranes and monorails in manufacturing facilities, handling heavy-duty loads with R350HT grades offering extended wear resistance .
Used in automated warehouses for AGV (automated guided vehicle) tracks, ensuring precision movement of heavy cargo.
Railway Systems
Ideal for heavy-haul freight networks and light rail systems.
Deployed in feeder lines for high-speed trains.
Mining & Quarries
Resists deformation from uneven track beds and abrasive ore cart wheels in underground and open-pit mines .
R260Mn grade preferred for surface quarry rails, withstanding repetitive loading/unloading of gravel and stone.
Ports & Intermodal Terminals
Critical for container gantry cranes, with galvanized 45E3 rails resisting saltwater corrosion and repetitive stress from automated stacking systems.
Used in AGV (automated guided vehicle) rails for seamless integration with warehouse logistics, ensuring precision movement of heavy cargo.
Construction Sites
Temporary rail systems for tower cranes and precast concrete yards, ensuring safe and efficient material handling.
Heat-resistant grades (R350HT) maintain structural integrity in steel mill hot zones.
