8kg rail, also called light mining rail, is a lightweight rail designed for low-speed, light-duty tracks. It meets GB/T 11264 and YB/T 2222 standards and is widely used in mining, small industrial lines, and temporary transport systems.
Weighing 8 kg per meter, it’s easy to handle and install, yet strong enough to provide stable, smooth operation under frequent wheel contact. Its simple design ensures reliable performance in dusty, damp, or outdoor conditions, making it ideal for cost-sensitive and flexible track projects.

Rails can be produced in special lengths or pre-cut for quick installation.
Higher-strength steel grades are available for projects requiring extra hardness or fatigue resistance.
Additional machining, drilling, or bending can be applied to meet specific track layouts.
