Hot rolled special steel shapes have proven to be economical and efficient for manufacturing material handling products such as overhead crane rail components, guided motion technology, conveyance tracks, warehouse shelving and industrial lift truck components.
Tram / Elevator Rail
McDonald Steel’s tram rail hot rolled T-Bar sections are produced using medium high carbon billets and then welded by our customers to a structural steel web and top flange. This innovative tram rail construction increases load carrying capacity and significantly improves track life. Incorporating McDonald Steel special steel shapes in your next rail application design can help realize similar savings and improve product performance.
Crane Rail Joint Bars
McDonald Steel’s hot rolled crane rail joint bars are produced to meet today’s tough industry specifications.
