In a significant milestone for international rail trade, Henan Zongxiang Heavy Industry Import & Export Co., Ltd., a leading Chinese manufacturer of steel rails and accessories, has successfully exported a substantial batch of QU100 crane rails to Malaysia. This shipment underscores ZongXiang's growing presence in Southeast Asia, where demand for high-quality crane infrastructure is surging amid rapid industrialization and port expansions.
The QU100 crane rail, a flagship product from ZongXiang's extensive lineup, adheres to Chinese GB standards (YB/T 5055-93). It features precise dimensions: a head width of 100mm, height of 150mm, bottom width of 150mm, and waist thickness of 38mm, with a theoretical weight of 88.96 kg/m. Crafted from premium U71Mn material—or alternatives like 45Mn or 50Mn—this rail delivers exceptional strength and durability, supporting loads of 80-100 tons. Ideal for gantry cranes, wharves, large-scale projects, and heavy lifting in shipyards or factories, the QU100 ensures stable, safe operations with minimal wear. Standard lengths range from 9m to 12m (e.g., 9+15, 10+15), customizable per client needs, and ZongXiang offers complementary accessories like rail clamps, fishplates, and rubber pads for seamless integration.
This export aligns with Malaysia's booming infrastructure sector, including port upgrades at Tanjung Pelepas and East Coast Rail Link (ECRL) extensions, where reliable crane systems are vital for efficient cargo handling. ZongXiang, established in 1997 as part of ZXSteelGroup, has built a reputation for reliability through partnerships with mills like Wuhan Iron & Steel and Baotou Steel. With over 20 years of experience, the company maintains large stockpiles, rigorous quality controls (ISO9001 certified), and competitive pricing, serving clients in 50+ countries. Past shipments to Malaysia—such as 22kg rails, A75 rails (20 tons), rail fishplates, and clamps—demonstrate proven logistics and customer satisfaction.
The order process began when a Malaysian industrial client, seeking cost-effective alternatives to pricier European standards like DIN A-series, discovered ZongXiang online. After detailed consultations on load capacity, quantity, and specs, samples and factory videos convinced them of the QU100's superiority. The batch, comprising hundreds of meters, underwent ultrasonic testing, precise machining, and anti-corrosion treatments before shipment via secure sea freight. Customs clearance was streamlined through ZongXiang's expertise, ensuring on-time delivery.
Upon arrival, the rails passed stringent local inspections, enabling immediate deployment in a port crane upgrade. Feedback highlights enhanced stability, reduced downtime, and cost savings—key for Malaysia's logistics hubs handling rising trade volumes under Belt and Road initiatives. This deal not only boosts bilateral China-Malaysia ties but also positions ZongXiang for future collaborations, including QU120 variants or full track systems.
ZongXiang's commitment to innovation shines through: advanced welding techniques prevent cracks, while sustainable practices minimize environmental impact. As Malaysia accelerates projects like ECRL (set for 2027 operations), ZongXiang stands ready with tailored solutions. Contact via WhatsApp (+86 19937123680) or email ([email protected]) for quotes.
