FAQ

22kg Rail, Common Questions

What is 22kg light rail used for?
22kg light rail is used for workshop overhead crane runways, light crane installations, materials handling systems and narrow-gauge industrial track. It is one of the most commonly used light rail sections in Australian workshops and industrial facilities, suiting moderate load applications where a heavier section is not required.
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 and is sometimes written 22 kg rail or 22kg/m rail.
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 higher loads or longer spans, the 30kg or 37kg may be more appropriate. Send Inform Rail your application details for advice.
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 Inform Rail your substructure details for advice on the most appropriate fastening system for your application.
