We can supply most Rail Sections from 7 kg/m up to 60 kg/m. We cover a range of standards including BS, ASTM and DIN. These sections are suitable for many industrial applications such as Heavy rail, Grooved rail, Crane rail, Industrial light rail, and Miniature and Heritage rail.

Most steel manufacturing countries have produced sections to their own standards, which means there are a huge variety of rail shapes and sizes that customers can use. We can provide most of these rail sections, depending on quantity. However, industrial railways mostly standardise on a few universal sections and we therefore commonly stock the above rail sections.
Rails can be provided in lengths to suit the project from 6m up to 18m. Our rail in stock is generally in lengths of 20 ,30 or 40 ft. We can also provide technical specifications, with some examples below.
Rails are made to different standards. Choosing a standard depends on what the rail is being used for, but generally the higher the standard the more costly the rail. We can supply a complete range of international rail and crane rail sections in sizes from 6Kg/m up to 150Kg/m.
We are able to assist with both route design, track design, and turnouts.
We can supply a complete range of international rail and crane rail sections in sizes from 6Kg/m up to 150Kg/m. These include:
Used in main line and industrial heavy haul tracks. Transportation of minerals in large annual quantities, often in isolated sparsely populated regions, demands rails of the highest quality to withstand aggressive track conditions. Heavy rails have high wear resistance sometimes enhanced by the utilisation of specialised chemistries or heat treatment. We can offer a wide range of rail sections and qualities to suit customer’s applications.
