ASCE 80 RAIL (80lb)
Product Overview
ASCE 80 rail, also known as 80lb rail, is a heavy-duty American standard rail profile developed for industrial and railway systems operating under sustained load and frequent impact. With a nominal weight of 80 lb per yard (39.82 kg/m), it sits firmly in the heavy rail category, offering higher rigidity and load stability than lighter ASCE sections.
Manufactured to ASTM A1 and AREMA specifications, ASCE 80 rail is commonly used in crane runways, port logistics systems, mining transport lines, and industrial spur tracks. Its balanced geometry allows it to carry high wheel pressure while maintaining stable alignment over long service cycles—an important factor for projects where downtime is not an option.
ASCE 80 Rail Material & Sizes
ASCE 80 Rail Dimensions
ASCE 80 rail features a classic I-shaped cross-section designed to improve bending resistance and distribute wheel loads evenly across the rail base. This geometry makes ASCE 80 rail especially suitable for crane and industrial applications where both vertical load and lateral stability must be controlled.

U71Mn
High-manganese carbon steel with excellent strength and wear resistance. Commonly specified for crane rails, port terminals, and mining transport systems exposed to heavy impact and vibration. Material customization is available for projects requiring specific mechanical properties or extended service life.
Key Features of ASCE 80 Rail
High Load Stability
Designed to handle continuous wheel loads and repeated impact without profile deformation.
Structural Consistency
Uniform cross-section and tight dimensional tolerance support accurate alignment and smooth operation.
Wear-Resistant Steel Options
U71Mn and heat-treated variants improve resistance to abrasion and surface fatigue.
