FAQ

22kg Rail: Common Questions

What is 22kg light rail used for?

22kg light rail is used for workshop trolley track, light materials handling systems, narrow-gauge industrial track and other low-load, low-speed applications. It is the lightest rail profile Inform Rail supplies and suits applications where ease of handling and installation are priorities alongside cost-effectiveness.

What does 22kg rail mean?

The 22kg designation refers to the mass of the rail per metre of length — 22 kilograms per metre. This is the standard way Australian and international rail profiles are designated. The 22kg profile has a head width of 50.8mm, height of 93.7mm, foot width of 93.7mm and a web of 10.7mm. It conforms to the JIS E1101 standard.

What is the difference between 22kg and 30kg rail?

The 30kg profile is heavier with a larger cross-section, giving it higher load capacity. The 22kg suits moderate load applications in workshops and light crane runways where the 30kg is more than required. If your application involves slightly higher loads or longer spans, the 22kg or 30kg may be more appropriate. Send us your application details and we'll advise.

What clips and fastening are compatible with 22kg rail?

The CL3-12 bolted clip and M71 welded clip are compatible with 22kg light rail for installations on steel substructures. For track on concrete or timber, different fastening arrangements may apply. Send us your substructure details and we'll advise on the most appropriate fastening system for your application.

Can 22kg rail be supplied cut to length?

Yes. 22kg rail can be cut to your specified lengths prior to dispatch. Include your cutting requirements in your enquiry. Drilling to a specified bolt pattern is also available.
