Product Introduction
GB 60kg Heavy Rail is a commonly used type of railway rail manufactured in accordance with the Chinese National Standard GB2585-2007. It is widely applied in high-speed railways, heavy-haul railways, mining transport lines, and large industrial dedicated tracks. The designation "60kg" refers to its unit mass of 60 kilograms per meter, classifying it as a medium-to-heavy rail that balances load-bearing capacity and cost efficiency.
Product Specifications
60kg rail specifications
In terms of geometric dimensions, the 60kg rail has a height of approximately 176 mm, a head width of 73 mm, a base width of 150 mm, and a web thickness of 16.5 mm. This cross-sectional design ensures sufficient bending stiffness and shear strength under heavy train loads, effectively preventing rail deformation, head spalling, and fatigue cracking. The standard lengths are typically 12.5 meters or 25 meters, but custom cutting is available to meet specific engineering requirements.
60kg steel rail material
From a material perspective, the GB 60kg heavy rail is commonly made of U71Mn high-manganese steel. After heat treatment and normalizing, it exhibits excellent wear resistance and impact strength, allowing it to perform reliably under high-frequency loads and varied climatic conditions. Its chemical composition and mechanical properties strictly conform to national standards, ensuring the long-term stability of railway systems.
Comparison with crane rails
Compared with crane-specific rails (such as QU100 or QU120), the 60kg heavy rail is structurally optimized for linear railway operation, rather than for concentrated wheel loads or frequent start-stop conditions seen in crane systems. Therefore, while it performs exceptionally well in mainline railways and heavy freight tracks, using it for crane tracks may result in accelerated wear due to differences in stress distribution.
GNEE RAIL supplies a full range of GB and international standard rails, including 50kg, 60kg,75kg heavy rails etc, as well as crane rails (QU70, QU80, QU100, QU120) and light rails. We also provide rail cutting, drilling, welding, and anti-corrosion treatment services, along with track selection consulting, fastening system solutions, and on-site installation guidance, ensuring safe, efficient, and durable rail system performance for every project.
