18kg Rail

The 18kg light steel rail is a robust solution designed for medium-to-heavy-duty industrial applications. Compliant with GB/T 11264-2025 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.

Every rail delivered with traceable quality assurance

Applications of 18kg Rail

The 18kg light rail is ideal for diverse industries requiring reliable medium-heavy duty tracks:

Industrial Facilities

Used in factory yards, logistics centers, and manufacturing plants for material handling and internal transport systems.

Mining & Quarrying

Ideal for transporting ore, coal, and equipment in underground and surface mines, supporting mining cars and locomotives.

Temporary Railways

Suitable for construction sites, event setups, or short-term projects requiring flexible, easy-to-install tracks.

Narrow-Gauge Systems

Commonly integrated into confined spaces or specialized transportation networks where lightweight rails are essential.

Advantages of Our 18kg Rail

Compliance with National Standards

Manufactured to GB/T 11264-2012, ensuring compatibility with China’s rail infrastructure and regulatory requirements.

Reliable Stock Availability

As a standard product, 18kg rails are consistently stocked by suppliers, enabling quick delivery for urgent projects.

Durable Performance
