Short Rail
Short rail, also known as trolley rail, is a critical track system used for container cranes, gantry cranes, and other port equipment. Designed to withstand high-frequency, heavy-duty trolley operations over short distances, short rails ensure precision alignment, durability, and load-bearing reliability. GloryCraneRail supply a wide range of trolley rail systems and customized trolley rail tracks, tailored to different crane and port machinery applications, guaranteeing smooth and safe operations.
Key Features
High Hardness Material: Rails are made of high-carbon steel for enhanced wear resistance and longevity.
Damping Design: Rails are installed on rubber pads and secured with specialized clips to minimize shocks and vibrations during trolley movement.
Short Rail Innovation: Short rails feature self-damping technology, reducing vibration by 30% and shocks by 80%, while enabling flexible boom operation.
Customizability: Systems are tailored to A75 and A100 rails with post-installation lateral adjustability (±5mm)

A trolley rail system is a steel track installation designed to provide a running path for cranes, port trolleys, or industrial handling equipment.
It typically includes short rails, rail joints, fastening hardware, and trolley wheels, allowing smooth, efficient, and precise linear or reciprocating movement along a fixed track.
In port operations, trolley rail systems are widely used in STS and RTG crane trolleys, as well as in industrial gantry cranes, heavy-duty transfer platforms, and overhead conveyor systems.
Choosing the right trolley rail system ensures load-bearing reliability, operational accuracy, and extended service life.
Short Rail Applications
-
Trolley track for Ship-to-Shore (STS) cranes
-
Overhead trolley track systems for Rubber Tyred Gantry (RTG) and Rail Mounted Gantry (RMG) cranes
-
Rail flatbed transfer trolleys (5mt and above) and heavy-duty transfer platforms
-
Heavy duty trolley track for industrial gantry cranes and overhead material handling systems
Supporting Accessories
In addition to short rails and trolley rail systems, we also provide a full range of supporting accessories to ensure a complete one-stop solution:
- Trolley Fix Blocks & End Stopper: for secure end-stop protection
- Trolley Wheels: made from high-strength alloy steel for wear resistance and durability
- Rail Fastening Sets & Clamps: ensuring stable installation and long-term system performance
By offering both rails and accessories together, Glory Rail help clients reduce procurement costs, shorten delivery times, and enhance overall system reliability.
