The real value appears when a lighter girder lets the crane track structure, support columns, and foundations step down with it. On crane tracks spanning 20 to 200 meters, that means a major project-level cost advantage.
Competing with traditional methods has limits. Change the game entirely.
Duraxim technology lets engineers choose a different girder class for the same application. What a standard HEA600 can do, Duraxim can achieve from an IPE500 starting profile, while using just 54% of the girder mass.
A conventional constant cross section HEA600 profile delivers the required 5-ton benchmark performance, but carries 2 760 kg across the 15 m span.
Duraxim starts with a standard IPE500 and transforms it into a high-performance variable-section girder.
The Duraxim girder weighs 1 482 kg, while the HEA600 reference weighs 2 760 kg. That is 1 278 kg less steel in a single 15 m girder, even after a small 5% cutting loss and 2% added material.
A lighter crane girder reduces the load that the crane track has to carry. That can make lighter track profiles sufficient, reduce column demand, and lower the number and size of concrete foundations. These are the expensive components that multiply across a 20-200 m crane track.
Lower moving and dead loads can allow the crane track itself to step down to lighter steel profiles.
Less structural demand can reduce support requirements, including column count and concrete foundation volume.
Moving a lighter crane system along the crane track requires less energy over the lifespan.
Duraxim turns a single beam improvement into a system-level opportunity: lower self-weight, lighter supporting structure, less foundation work, and reduced energy demand across the crane track lifecycle.
Waste less steel, Go green.
