ISCOR 22 Rail
ISCOR 22 Rail is a South African standard light rail profile developed for mining and industrial track systems. With a nominal weight of 22.54 kg/m and manufactured from Grade 700 steel, it provides dependable strength, wear resistance, and welding performance for light-duty rail applications. The profile is widely specified for mine haulage tracks, factory railways, port facilities, and other industrial transport systems where compatibility with existing South African rail infrastructure is required.
As a professional rail supplier, Glory Rail offers 22 kg rails that comply with the ISCOR standard. We provide services including custom cutting, drilling, anti-corrosion packaging, and a full range of track accessories to meet the procurement needs of industrial projects worldwide.
Every rail delivered with traceable quality assurance

ISCOR 22kg Rail Application Range
- African Open-pit & Underground Mine Internal Transport Tracks: Coal, gold, manganese mine narrow-gauge haulage trolley lines in South Africa, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Tanzania.
- Port & Terminal Feeder Transfer Tracks: Short-distance cargo transport tracks inside container terminals, bulk mineral storage yards in West Africa & Southern Africa ports.
- Factory & Industrial Plant Tramway Lines: Steel mill, cement plant, chemical factory internal low-speed rail transit for material delivery.
- Small Urban Light Rail & Rural Branch Lines: Short-distance passenger and small freight branch lines in towns of South Africa and surrounding countries.
- Construction Temporary Haul Tracks: Movable temporary rail tracks for large infrastructure construction sites across Africa.
Advantages of ISCOR 22 Rail
- Optimized Cross-section & Stable Running Performance: The ISCOR 22 rail profile adopts official SABS curved design, precise dimensional tolerance after full automatic rolling, uniform vertical and horizontal flatness. It effectively reduces wheel-rail vibration and running noise, ensuring smooth operation of mine trolleys, port transfer vehicles and factory tramcars.
- Excellent Wear & Impact Resistance: 700 grade medium carbon steel with balanced manganese content improves surface hardness, resists repeated wheel friction and impact load. Compared with low-grade light rails, service life increases by 30% under same mining working conditions.
- High Structural Strength & Safety Margin: Reasonable matching of rail head, web and base thickness delivers outstanding bending and compression resistance. Suitable for low-speed transport lines with 5–20 ton single vehicle load, no permanent deformation under long-term cyclic load.
- Easy Installation & Low Maintenance Cost: Standard reserved bolt holes for rail joint connection; compatible with ISCOR standard rail fasteners, steel sleepers and concrete sleepers. Simple on-site welding or mechanical splicing, later maintenance replacement workload is greatly reduced for African remote mining areas.
- Export-Oriented Seaworthy Processing: We provide pre-drilling, end leveling, anti-rust oil coating, bundled skid packaging. Each bundle pastes batch number, heat number and inspection label; full loading photos, container sealing records and export customs documents are supplied for overseas clearance.
Custom processing for ISCOR 22KG
Glory Rail has a full fabrication shop for ISCOR 22 rail. We can cut rails to exact length, drill holes for any pattern (including non‑standard layouts), induction harden the head, and apply laser or stamp marking for full traceability.
We also offer cold and hot bending – useful for curved track sections, turntables, and crane runways.
Precision rail end beveling is available if you need a custom head profile.
For corrosion protection, we do hot‑dip galvanizing and other advanced surface treatments.
And we can machine bolt hole configurations to match special mounting requirements – slotting, countersinking, or multiple rows.
With decades of engineering experience in rail manufacturing, Glory Rail focuses on delivering precision-engineered rail systems designed for demanding industrial applications. Operating under established ISCOR specifications with ISO-certified quality management, we integrate controlled steel processing and in-process inspection to ensure consistent dimensional accuracy, mechanical performance, and long-term operational reliability.

Our rail factory holds ISO 9001:2025 Quality Management System Certificate, complete export manufacturing qualification, and third-party annual mechanical performance audit authorized by national metal testing institute.
Raw Material Inspection: All steel billets carry metallurgical furnace report, eliminate impurity unqualified raw materials.
Online Rolling Monitoring: Real-time dimensional laser detection during hot rolling to control section tolerance strictly.
Finished Product Sampling Test: Random tensile, yield, elongation, hardness sampling for every production batch, issue official MTC.
Third-Party Verification: Support SGS, BV independent inspection before shipment as client requirement.
Compliance Certification: All products meet SABS ISCOR light rail design standards, pass local African railway engineering acceptance.
All test reports, factory certificates, inspection photos can be provided to clients for project bidding documents.
Full accessory package for ISCOR 22KG rail systems
As a supplier who actually works with South Africa Standard 22kg rail every day, we don’t just sell the rail itself. Glory Rail stocks a full range of compatible mounting accessories so you get a complete system – one order, no guessing whether parts fit.
Fishplates (Joint Bars): Our ISCOR 22kg rail fishplates are available with 4-hole or 6-hole designs in lengths from 300–500 mm. Manufactured from high-strength carbon steel, they provide secure rail joints for industrial and mining rail systems. Insulated fishplates are also available for signaling and electrified tracks.
Rail Clamps: We supply adjustable, weld-on, and bolt-down rail clamps to prevent lateral rail movement. Various designs are available to suit different track structures and load requirements.
Rail Pads (Rail Seat Pads): Rubber, polyurethane, and composite rail pads reduce vibration, noise, and impact while extending rail service life. Both continuous and segmented pads are available.
Steel Tie Plates: Manufactured from Q235B, Q345B, or ASTM A36 steel, our tie plates provide reliable load distribution, stable rail support, and excellent weldability for industrial track systems.
Thermite Welding Kits: Our thermite welding kits create high-strength rail joints for on-site installation without external power. They are widely used for mining railways, crane rails, and continuous welded track.
