Standard Rail — 41kg to 68kg
Inform Rail supplies Australian standard rail for mining and industrial track — 41kg to 68kg plus 136RE, head hardened available, cut-to-length.
Standard Rail — 41kg to 68kg, Supplied Across Australia
Inform Rail supplies Australian standard rail from 41kg to 68kg for mining, stacker reclaimers, industrial track and infrastructure projects across Australia. We source profiles to Australian standard (AS) specifications, with AREMA 136RE available.
41kg is the most widely used standard rail profile in Australian industrial applications. Head hardened rail is available for high-wear and high-cycle applications. Cut-to-length is available across all profiles and no minimum order applies.

Standard rail refers to the mid to heavy-weight flat-bottom rail profiles used in mainline track, mining operations, industrial floor track and bulk handling systems. In Australia, standard rail profiles follow the AS (Australian Standard) specification, which defines the cross-sectional geometry, head and foot dimensions, and material grades for each weight class.
Standard rail differs from crane rail in both profile shape and application. Where crane rail has a wide unique head geometry for crane wheel contact, standard rail has a narrower head suited to flanged wheels on conventional track systems including locomotive-hauled equipment, stacker reclaimers, transfer cars and heavy industrial floor track.
Head hardened rail is available across selected profiles for applications where higher surface hardness is required to resist wear, common in mining, high-cycle industrial track and bulk handling environments.
- Mining operations including haul road track, underground mining and mine site infrastructure
- Ports and bulk handling including transfer equipment and bulk commodity handling systems
- Industrial floor track for heavy transfer cars, fabrication and assembly systems
- Mainline and branch line infrastructure and network maintenance works
- Heavy industrial floor track in demanding industrial environments

Head Hardened Rail for High-Wear Applications
Head hardened rail is standard rail that has undergone a controlled heat treatment process to increase the surface hardness of the rail head. The harder surface resists wear and deformation under high-cycle or abrasive conditions, extending service life and reducing maintenance intervals in demanding environments.
Available across selected standard rail profiles. Inform Rail can source head hardened rail to suit your specification. Include the requirement in your enquiry and we'll advise on availability and lead times.
