Henan Zongxiang Heavy Industry Import & Export Co., Ltd., a leading Chinese rail supplier established in 1997, has recently exported a batch of A45 crane rails to Zambia, reinforcing its role in supporting Africa’s infrastructure development. This export, executed by ZongXiang Steel Group, highlights the company’s expertise in providing high-quality rail products tailored to international markets. With over two decades of experience, ZongXiang operates a 33,000-square-meter facility with 300 employees, four production lines, and robust quality control, ensuring products meet global standards.

The A45 crane rail, adhering to DIN536-1-1991 standards, is designed for heavy-duty applications, offering high strength, durability, and excellent weldability. Weighing approximately 22.2 kg per meter, it is ideal for Zambia’s industrial needs, particularly in mining and port operations. Zambia, a landlocked nation, relies on efficient transport systems to export copper, its primary commodity. The A45 rail’s ability to handle heavy loads with minimal deformation supports cranes used in material handling, enhancing operational efficiency in mines and logistics hubs.

This shipment aligns with Zambia’s broader infrastructure modernization efforts, driven by increased investments in transport networks to boost trade within the Southern African Development Community (SADC). ZongXiang’s A45 rails are expected to upgrade existing crane tracks, improving stability and reducing maintenance costs. The rails’ corrosion resistance and high resilience ensure longevity, critical for Zambia’s challenging environmental conditions.

ZongXiang’s export process involved meticulous planning, from production to delivery. Quality inspections ensured compliance with international benchmarks, while optimized logistics, combining sea and land transport, minimized costs and ensured timely arrival. The installation of A45 rails requires specialized equipment for precise alignment, often accompanied by upgrades to sleepers and ballast, ensuring optimal performance.

This export strengthens China-Zambia economic ties, reflecting China’s Belt and Road Initiative, which promotes infrastructure development across Africa. ZongXiang’s prior exports to Zambia, including 60kg/m rails and 20 tons of A65 rails, demonstrate its growing presence in the region. The company’s ability to supply diverse rail types—light, heavy, and crane rails—positions it as a key partner in Africa’s rail sector.

The successful delivery of A45 crane rails to Zambia opens avenues for future collaborations. As Zambia’s economy grows, demand for robust infrastructure will rise, and ZongXiang’s proven track record ensures it will play a pivotal role. By providing cost-effective, high-quality rails, ZongXiang supports Zambia’s industrial and trade ambitions, fostering regional connectivity and economic growth.
