15 kg Mining Rail
Product Overview
15 kg rail (nominal 15 kg/m, theoretical weight ≈ 15.2 kg/m) is a hot-rolled light rail designed for mid-to-light duty applications. With an optimized I-section profile formed by precision hot-rolling, this rail balances load capacity and installation flexibility. It is widely used in mine auxiliary transport, heavy-duty factory logistics, sightseeing railway lines, and other scenarios that require moderate load capacity and wear resistance.
The product is manufactured to domestic standard GB/T 11264-2012 and can be supplied with customization and documentation to meet common international specifications (such as ASTM / EN) upon request.

Core Advantages
Well matched for mid-light load scenarios: Profile and strength are engineered for short-haul transport and guidance uses, simplifying installation and maintenance.
Material flexibility: Standard and higher wear-resistant grades (e.g., Q235B, 55Q) are available so you can select the best balance of cost and service life.
Stable manufacturing processes: Precision hot-rolling and quality control ensure consistent geometry and surface quality.
Processing & accessories: Support for length cutting, drilling, special profiling and supply of accessories (fishplates, bolts, spikes, sleepers) for a one-stop procurement experience.
Testable & traceable: Material and inspection documentation can be provided to support procurement and QA workflows.
Typical Applications
Mine auxiliary transport: Short-distance ore and waste transfer tracks. For harsher mine environments, choose corrosion-resistant materials and galvanizing. (Related profile: 30 lb/yd mine rail / 15kg mine track.)
Factory heavy logistics: Workshop guide rails, track-guided handling systems and track-mounted transfer equipment.
Tourist & theme park railways: Small scenic trains and themed track lines—can be combined with decorative sleepers and protective coatings for aesthetics.
Agriculture & temporary infrastructure: Farm machinery guidance tracks and temporary construction tracks that are easy to install, reuse and remove.

FAQs
Q:Can you supply mine track accessories (fishplates, bolts, sleepers)?
A:Yes — accessories and one-stop procurement options are available.
Q:Do you support custom gauges or special section profiles?
A:Yes. We support various track gauges (including narrow gauges) and can supply matched accessories. Special section profiles are possible — please provide drawings or samples so we can verify feasibility and manufacturing requirements.
Q: What surface treatments are available and how should I choose?
A:Available treatments: as-rolled, anti-rust paint, hot-dip galvanizing, cold galvanizing. Choose based on the operating environment — for wet, coastal or highly corrosive/dusty conditions we recommend galvanizing or a durable anti-rust coating. We can advise the optimal finish based on your project details.
