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 other low-load, low-speed applications. It is the lightest rail profile Inform Rail supplies and suits 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.

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 slightly higher loads or longer spans, the 22kg or 30kg may be more appropriate. Send us your application details and we'll advise.

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 us your substructure details and we'll advise on the most appropriate fastening system for your application.

Can 15kg rail be supplied cut to length?

Yes. 15kg 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.
