30kg Light Rail, Supplied Across Australia

Inform Rail supplies 30kg light rail for workshop crane runways, materials handling systems and industrial applications across Australia. The 30kg profile suits overhead crane runways and track where the 22kg is no longer sufficient but a standard rail section is not required. It is manufactured to the JIS E1101 standard.

The 30kg designation refers to the mass per metre of the rail section, and the profile is sometimes written 30 kg rail. It sits near the top of the light rail range, bridging the gap between the lighter workshop profiles and standard rail sections like the 41kg. Matched fastening systems can be supplied to suit the application.

FAQ

30kg Rail, Common Questions

What is 30kg light rail used for?
30kg light rail is used for workshop overhead crane runways, materials handling systems and narrow-gauge industrial track where lighter sections are insufficient. It is the second heaviest profile in the light rail range and bridges the gap between lighter workshop profiles and standard rail sections like the 41kg.
What does 30kg rail mean?
The 30kg designation refers to the mass of the rail per metre of length, 30 kilograms per metre. This is the standard way Australian and international rail profiles are designated. The 30kg profile has a head width of 60.3mm, height of 108.0mm, foot width of 108.0mm and a web of 12.3mm. It conforms to the JIS E1101 standard and is sometimes written 30 kg rail or 30kg/m rail.
What is the difference between 30kg and 37kg rail?
The 37kg profile is heavier with a larger cross-section, giving it higher load capacity. The 30kg suits applications where the 22kg is too light but the 37kg is more than required. If your application involves higher loads or longer spans, the 37kg or a standard rail section like the 41kg may be more appropriate. Send Inform Rail your application details for advice.
What clips and fastening are compatible with 30kg rail?
The CL3-12 bolted clip and M71 welded clip are compatible with 30kg 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.
Can 30kg rail be supplied cut to length?
