UIC 54 Rail
The UIC 54 rail, also referred to as 54E1, derives its designation “54” from its weight per meter of rail length, equating to 54 kilograms per meter. Compliant with the technical standards established by the International Union of Railways (UIC), this rail is primarily employed in heavy-duty freight transport railways. Beyond railway applications, the 54E1 rail is extensively utilized in underground mining and crane industries.
