FAQ

41kg Rail, Common Questions

What is 41kg standard rail used for?
41kg standard rail is used for industrial sidings, underground mining rail systems, workshop overhead crane runways and plant-level transport corridors. It is the most widely used standard rail profile in Australian industry, suited to moderate load applications where light rail is too light and heavier profiles such as 47kg or 50kg are not required.
What are the dimensions of 41kg rail?
AS 1085.1 41kg rail has a head width of 63.5mm, a height of 136.5mm, a foot width of 127mm and a web thickness of 13.1mm. The mass is approximately 40.8 kg per metre, and the profile is sometimes written 41 kg rail or 41kg/m rail. These dimensions conform to the Australian Standard AS 1085.1.
What is the difference between 41kg and 47kg rail?
The 47kg profile is heavier and has a larger cross-section than the 41kg, giving it higher load capacity and greater rigidity for more demanding applications. The 41kg is suited to moderate load applications across industry and mining. If your application involves higher axle loads, longer spans or more demanding duty, the 47kg or 50kg may be more appropriate. Send us your application details and we'll advise.
What clips are compatible with 41kg rail?
Compatible welded clips for 41kg include the M71 for steel substructure installations. Compatible bolted clips include the CL4-16, CL4-20 and CLX-20. Clip selection depends on the substructure type, installation method and load requirements. Send us your drawings or application details and we'll advise on the correct clip.
