Rail Products

Standard Rail, Light Rail, Crane Rail and Block Rail

We source Australian standard rail profiles, light rail sections and the full crane rail range. All rail is manufactured to meet relevant standards. Whether you're laying new industrial track, replacing worn rail in an existing facility, sourcing a modern equivalent for an out-of-production section or installing a crane runway, we can help with the right profile and matching fastening components.

Standard Rail

Standard Rail: 41kg to 68kg

Mid to heavy-weight rail profiles for mainline and industrial track applications. Australian standard profiles run from 41kg through to 68kg. Other profiles including AREMA specifications are available on request.

Head hardened rail is available for high-wear applications. Standard rail is supplied in standard lengths with cut-to-length available on request.

Standard Rail Applications

Stacker reclaimersMining and bulk handling equipment running on standard rail profiles
MiningBulk materials handling, conveyor transfer systems and mine site infrastructure
Industrial trackWarehouses, fabrication facilities and heavy industrial floor track
Head hardenedAvailable for high-wear and high-cycle applications
41kgMost widely used AS profile in Australian industrial networks
Light Rail

Light Rail: 10kg to 37kg

Light rail profiles for workshop track, materials handling systems, fabrication yards and low-speed industrial applications. JIS profiles from 10kg to 37kg are widely used in workshops, storage facilities and light industrial environments across Australia.

Also commonly used for replacement track in older facilities running legacy rail profiles. We can help identify the right modern equivalent if you're replacing out-of-production sections.

Crane Rail

Crane Rail: A45 to A120, CR73, 86kg and MRS Series

For overhead crane runways, gantry cranes and port equipment we supply the DIN 536 range from A45 through to A120, plus CR73, 86kg, MRS87A and MRS73 sections for stacker reclaimers, ship loaders, port cranes and steelworks cranes. Full dimensions, profile selection guidance and compatible clips for every profile are on the crane rail page.

Block Rail

Block Rail: Flat Bar Sections

Block rail, also known as flat bar rail or guide rail, is a simple rectangular steel section used for light trolleys and guided equipment in workshops, warehouses and industrial facilities. It combines precision guidance with the structural integrity required for automation, robotics, gantries and light overhead systems.

We supply globally recognised block rail profiles and steel grades to suit project requirements.

Rail Lengths & Cutting

Cut-to-Length Rail & Drilling

Rail is typically supplied in 6m, 9m or 12m lengths depending on the profile and manufacturer. Where these lengths don't suit your installation, we can arrange rail cut to your specified lengths prior to dispatch, reducing on-site cutting time and waste.

Rail can also be drilled to your specified bolt pattern prior to dispatch using our PRO NM-360 cordless rail drilling machine, ideal for projects where on-site drilling is impractical or time-critical.

  • Square and angled cut ends available
  • Tight length tolerances for precise installation
  • Holes up to 36mm drilled to your bolt pattern
  • Available across standard, light and crane rail profiles
  • Specify requirements in your enquiry

FAQ

Rail Products: Common Questions

What rail profiles do you supply in Australia?
We supply Australian standard rail (41kg to 68kg), light rail (10kg to 37kg), DIN 536 crane rail (A45 to A120), CR73, 86kg, MRS87A and MRS73 crane rail, and block rail. Other profiles including AREMA specifications are available on request. Distribution from Brisbane and Cairns for fast dispatch nationwide.
What is the difference between standard rail, light rail and crane rail?
Standard rail is the mid to heavy weight profile used for mainline, mining and industrial track. Light rail covers the smaller profiles from 10kg to 37kg used for workshop track, materials handling and low-speed industrial applications. Crane rail has a wide head designed for crane wheel contact and is used for overhead crane runways, gantry cranes and port equipment. The right category depends on what runs on the rail and the loads involved.
Can you help replace obsolete or out-of-production rail?
Yes. This is one of our most common enquiries. If you have the rail dimensions, a section reference or a photo, we can usually identify the profile and recommend a compatible modern replacement with matching fastening components. BHP 60lb (31kg) rail is a common example we assist with regularly.
How long does delivery take?
Most stock is held in Brisbane, enabling fast packing and dispatch. Delivery timeframes depend on your location and the profile and we can advise at the time of enquiry. We deliver across Australia by road or rail. For urgent requirements, let us know and we'll do our best to prioritise.

Do you have a minimum order?
No minimum order. We support single lengths, small orders and urgent project requirements, even at short notice. Stock is held in Brisbane and Cairns for fast dispatch Australia-wide.
Can rail be supplied cut to length and drilled?
Yes. Rail can be cut to your specified lengths and drilled to your bolt pattern prior to dispatch, across standard, light and crane rail profiles. Square and angled cut ends are available. Include your cutting and drilling requirements in your enquiry.
