Experts in Rail
How is rail manufactured? Let’s look at the rail rolling process
When maintaining or upgrading industrial tracks, slipways, or crane runways, a major challenge is sourcing replacements for rail sections that are no longer manufactured. This includes BHP 60 lb B rail and the later 31 kg rail profile. Both have been out of production for decades, which means operators today need a reliable, modern alternative.

What is Block Rail?
Block Rail, or flat bar crane rail, is a simple yet essential component in crane rail systems throughout Australia. It supports smooth reliable travel for trolleys and overhead cranes in workshops warehouses and industrial facilities.
What you need to know about branded rail clips!
At Inform Rail, we regularly review drawings that specify an existing rail clip, a clip that’s no longer manufactured, or the two classic words: “or equivalent.”
But what does it really mean for you when pricing a project, replacing rail clips or designing a new system?
Rail Drill: Saved the day for Inform Rail
Just before shipping a rail product, Inform Rail received a last-minute request from a customer: could the rail be drilled before dispatch? Normally, cutting and drilling are handled by trusted partners, but this time there was no time to waste. That’s when the portable rail drill stepped up. The team grabbed the PRO NM-360 Cordless Rail Drilling Machine, and it delivered exactly what was needed—clean, accurate holes in hardened rail, right on schedule.
So, what are fishplates?
Fishplates, also known as rail joints or joint bars, are steel components used to connect two rail sections end-to-end. They are bolted to the sides of the rail web and serve several important functions in crane rail and railway systems.
