UIC60 RAIL (60E1)
Product Overview
The UIC60 rail, we also call it 60E1, is a widely used railway rail profile developed by the European International Railway Union (UIC). It is a heavy-duty rail track that weighs 60.21 kg per meter, designed with an “H”-shaped cross section measuring 172 mm height and 150 mm base width.
Renowned for its robust structure and high load capacity, the UIC60 rail excels in supporting high-speed trains and heavy freight traffic. Its excellent durability allows it to withstand frequent, high-intensity railway operations over long service life.
This versatile rail type is commonly deployed across various railway systems, including high-speed railways, urban transit, subways, and industrial railways such as mines, making it a preferred choice for global rail infrastructure.
