Products Description
Light steel rail is a type of track used in urban rail transit systems, typically lighter than heavy-duty railway tracks and suitable for carrying lower traffic volumes in urban rail transit systems.
In China, there are usually various weight specifications for light rail tracks, such as 18kg, 22kg, 24kg, etc. 18kg rails are generally used for light or urban rail transit lines, and their design considers lighter load requirements and lower structural strength, making them suitable for small and medium-sized cities or places with lower transportation needs.
The standard weight of track steel represents the weight per meter of track, so an 18kg light rail means that the weight of the steel rail per meter of track is 18 kilograms, which is suitable for some light and frequent urban transportation or urban light rail lines.

Application scenarios
1.Urban rail transit:
18kg steel rails are mainly used in light rail, subway, rapid transit and other systems. Due to its lightweight, it is suitable for light railway transportation systems with lower loads.
2.Tram and tram:
18kg steel rails are also suitable for flexible and low load tram or tram lines in cities, which have lower traffic flow and speed, so heavier steel rails are not needed.
3.Mountain or rural railway lines:
In some light railway lines in mountainous or rural areas, 18kg steel rails are also a common choice. The transportation demand in these areas is not high, and the transportation is mainly for lighter goods or passenger transport, so using lighter steel rails can reduce construction and maintenance costs.
