15kg Light Rail, Supplied Across Australia

Inform Rail supplies 15kg light rail for workshop track, materials handling systems and light industrial applications across Australia. The 15kg profile is a step up in capacity from the 10kg, commonly used in mining corridors, agricultural operations, fabrication yards and narrow-gauge transport systems. It is manufactured to the JIS E1101 standard.

The 15kg designation refers to the mass per metre of the rail section, and the profile is sometimes written 15 kg rail. It suits applications where ease of handling matters alongside greater load capacity and rigidity than the lightest profiles provide. Matched fastening systems can be supplied to suit the application.

FAQ

15kg Rail, Common Questions

What is 15kg light rail used for?
15kg light rail is used for workshop trolley track, light materials handling systems, narrow-gauge industrial track and mine, quarry and agricultural applications. It is a step up in capacity from the 10kg profile and suits light to medium duty applications where ease of handling and installation are priorities alongside cost-effectiveness.
What does 15kg rail mean?
The 15kg designation refers to the mass of the rail per metre of length, 15 kilograms per metre. This is the standard way Australian and international rail profiles are designated. The 15kg profile has a head width of 42.9mm, height of 79.3mm, foot width of 79.3mm and a web of 8.33mm. It conforms to the JIS E1101 standard and is sometimes written 15 kg rail or 15kg/m rail.
What is the difference between 15kg and 22kg rail?
The 22kg profile is heavier with a larger cross-section, giving it higher load capacity. The 15kg suits light to medium duty applications where the 10kg is too light but the 22kg is more than required. If your application involves higher loads or longer spans, the 22kg or 30kg may be more appropriate. Send Inform Rail your application details for advice.
What clips and fastening are compatible with 15kg rail?
The CL3-12 bolted clip and M71 welded clip are compatible with 15kg 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.
