What are the 3 types of GB steel rails

Chinese standards defined standards for light rail, heavy rail, and crane rail for railways in China. The light rail is less than or equal to 30kg/m. The heavy rail is more than 30kg/m.

 

 

Chinese rail standard specifies three types of rails: light rail, heavy rail, and crane rail. GNEE RAIL has a large amount of stock of railroad tracks for sale. We also provide rails that conform to many other rail standards such as American standards, European standards, British standards, Indian standards, Australian standards, Japanese standards, South African standards, and so on.

 

 

Light rail weights less than or equal to 30kg per meter. Light rail is used for laying temporary transportation lines and light locomotive lines for forest areas, mining areas, factories, and construction sites.
