38kg Rail
The 38kg rail is a lighter heavy rail type designed for railway branches and low-traffic freight lines. With a theoretical weight of 38.73kg per meter, it offers solid strength and wear resistance. Its balanced section design helps distribute loads evenly, making it suitable for curved tracks and tunnel applications. This rail type is also widely used in industrial tracks such as crane rails for 10 to 20-ton equipment. It complies with GB2585-2007 and is commonly produced using U71Mn steel.

38kg Rail Application Areas
Mining Haulage
38kg rail is widely used in underground mining to support ore carts and small locomotives. It offers stable performance even in humid and uneven tunnel environments.
Industrial Transport
Used in factory rail lines and heavy-duty workshops, this rail supports loads up to 20 tons. A reliable choice for frequent equipment transfers.
Crane Rail Systems
Often installed under gantry or floor-mounted cranes. Performs well in port and yard settings where medium-weight lifting is needed.
