18kg Rail
The 18kg light steel rail is a robust solution designed for medium-to-heavy-duty industrial applications. Compliant with GB/T 11264-2012 standards, it is available in two premium materials: Q235 low-carbon steel for general durability and 55Q high-carbon steel for high-wear environments. With a weight of 18.06kg/m and dimensions optimized for stability (90mm height x 80mm base), this rail excels in brick factories, coal mining operations, and heavy machinery transport, offering a balance of strength, adaptability, and cost-efficiency.
