Drawing of GB 22kg Light Steel Rail
Jan 15, 2026
22kg rail weighs 22.3kg per meter and is designed for crane tracks, overhead transport systems, and other industrial setups requiring higher load-bearing capacity. It is made from Q235B or 55Q steel, offering both strength and heat resistance. This model bridges the gap between light and heavy rails, suitable for applications such as light duty-gantry cranes or transport in logging and mining sites. Its durability and fatigue resistance make it ideal for dynamic loads and continuous operation.

Key Features of GB 22kg Light Rail:
- Weight: 22 kg/m, indicating its lightweight structure compared to heavy rails used in mainline railways.
- Standard: Manufactured in accordance with the Chinese GB (Guobiao) standards for rail profiles and steel grades.
- Material: Usually made from high-quality carbon steel (e.g., Q235B, 55Q) for good strength and wear resistance.
- Dimensions: Includes specific head width, height, and web thickness suitable for light-duty applications.
GB 22kg Rail Customization Options
- Precision Bending:Custom bending is done by hot or cold forming. Rail curves follow project drawings. No damage to structure during bending. We ensure tight radius control.
- Special Drilling:Drilling is done in non-standard areas when needed. Positions follow client specs.Clean holes support proper fastening and lasting stability.
- Protective Coating:Coating types include rustproof oil, paint, or zinc. We follow your coating preferences. Each layer protects rails from moisture and corrosion.
- Custom Cutting:We offer sloped cuts, bevels, and shaped ends for better welding. Each cut is drawn-based and helps improve connection strength.
What is the difference between a GB 22kg light track rail and a 30kg rail?
The main difference is weight and strength, with the 30kg rail being heavier, taller, and stronger than the 22kg rail, designed for heavier loads and potentially higher speeds, while the 22kg rail is lighter, easier to handle, and suited for lower-speed, lighter-duty applications like mines, factories, or temporary tracks, with the 30kg rail often marking the upper end of "light rail" before "heavy rail" begins (typically >30kg/m).
22kg Rail
- Weight: About 22 kilograms per meter.
- Application: Ideal for low-speed, light-load scenarios, such as mine branch lines, factory railways, or temporary construction tracks.
- Characteristics: Lighter, cheaper, easier to install, and offers flexibility for temporary setups.
30kg Rail
- Weight: About 30 kilograms per meter.
- Application: Still considered a light rail, but for higher capacity than 22kg, used in urban light rail or heavier industrial settings.
- Characteristics: Stronger than the 22kg, providing better support for heavier rolling stock, but still below heavy rail standards (e.g., 38kg, 50kg).
