37kg Light Rail, Supplied Across Australia

Inform Rail supplies 37kg light rail for workshop crane runways, narrow-gauge track and industrial applications across Australia. The 37kg profile is the heaviest section in the light rail range, suited to crane runways and track where lighter profiles are insufficient but a standard rail section is not required. It is manufactured to the JIS E1101 standard as the JIS 37A section.

The 37kg designation refers to the mass per metre of the rail section, and the profile is sometimes written 37 kg rail or JIS 37A. It is the approximate metric equivalent of the imperial 60lb rail used historically across Australian cane railway and industrial networks, and is commonly specified when replacing legacy 60lb track. Matched fastening systems can be supplied to suit the application.

FAQ

37kg Rail, Common Questions

What is 37kg light rail used for?
37kg light rail is used for workshop overhead crane runways, narrow-gauge cane railway and industrial track, and materials handling systems where lighter sections are insufficient. It is the heaviest profile in the light rail range and is commonly specified when replacing legacy 60lb track in cane railway and industrial networks.
What does 37kg rail mean?
The 37kg designation refers to the mass of the rail per metre of length, 37 kilograms per metre. This is the standard way Australian and international rail profiles are designated. The 37kg profile has a head width of 62.7mm, height of 122.2mm, foot width of 122.2mm and a web of 13.5mm. It conforms to the JIS E1101 standard as the JIS 37A section and is sometimes written 37 kg rail or 37kg/m rail.
What is the difference between 37kg and 30kg rail?
The 30kg is lighter and smaller than the 37kg. The 37kg is the heaviest profile in the light rail range and suits applications where the 30kg is insufficient but standard rail is not required. If your application involves higher loads or longer spans, a standard rail section like the 41kg may be more appropriate. Send Inform Rail your application details for advice.
Is 37kg rail the same as 60lb rail?
Approximately, yes. The JIS 37A 37kg profile is the closest metric equivalent to the imperial 60lb per yard rail used historically across Australian cane railway and industrial networks. When legacy 60lb track needs replacement, the 37kg JIS section is the profile most commonly specified. If you are matching to existing 60lb rail, send Inform Rail your joint details so fishplate compatibility can be confirmed.
What clips and fastening are compatible with 37kg rail?
The CL3-12 bolted clip and M71 welded clip are compatible with 37kg 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 37kg rail be supplied cut to length?
Yes. 37kg 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.
