Description

Rails are the main components of railway tracks. Their function is to guide the wheels of locomotives and vehicles forward, bear the huge pressure of the wheels, and transmit it to the sleepers. Rails must provide a continuous, smooth and least resistant rolling surface for the wheels. In electrified railways or automatic block sections, rails can also serve as track circuits.

Chinese rails can be divided into three types: crane rails, heavy rails and light rails according to their approximate weight in kilograms per meter.

The 8kg steel rail is one kind of light rail, it’s designed to provide a stable and reliable track foundation for trains and other rolling stock. Its lightweight construction allows for efficient installation and maintenance, making it suitable for temporary or non-permanent railway tracks. Additionally, its relatively low cost compared to heavier rail types makes it an economical choice for certain applications.
