S18 rail
The S18 rail is a medium-weight light rail profile defined by the DIN 5901 standard, weighing 18.3 kg per meter. With a height of 93mm and base width of 82mm, it offers reliable lateral stability and strength for light-to-medium duty applications. Commonly used in mining transport lines, factory floor systems, and crane railways, S18 rail supports repeated loading with low deformation and excellent dimensional consistency.

DIN S18 Rail Material Properties
Manufactured from Q235B or 55Q steel, S18 rails combine structural strength with adaptability. Q235B provides good weldability and affordability for indoor use, while 55Q offers improved hardness for abrasion resistance and heavier axle loads in harsher environments.

Why Choose the DIN S18 Rail
Applications
DIN S18 rail is widely used in mining trolleys, in-plant rail systems, and crane tracks. Its 18.3kg/m profile suits operations with moderate loads, ensuring stable transport performance in harsh or semi-permanent industrial environments.
Advantages
The S18 rail balances structural strength with easier handling. Its standardized shape supports efficient installation, while two steel grade options—Q235B and 55Q—offer flexibility for both cost-conscious and wear-intensive applications.

FAQ
What are the benefits of using 55Q over Q235B for S18 rails?
→ 55Q provides higher surface hardness and wear resistance, making it ideal for high-traffic or outdoor applications. Q235B is more cost-effective for general indoor or moderate-use scenarios.
Can I get rails in 8m or 10m lengths?
→ Yes, we offer length customization up to 10 meters. We can also cut rails to your exact requirements for easier site handling.
Do you offer matching rail accessories?
→ We supply fishplates, clips, and customized joint systems compatible with DIN light rails. Special machining for transitions to other profiles is also available.
