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.

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.
