LIGHT MINING RAIL SUPPLIER FROM CHINA
15+ YEARS EXPERIENCE OF STEEL RAILS SYSTEM
Mining rail refers to steel rail sections specifically designed for underground and surface mining transport systems. These rails are used to support mine carts, locomotives, and material handling equipment operating under confined spaces, frequent starts and stops, and abrasive working conditions.
Compared with mainline railway rails, mining rails focus more on manageable weight, stable geometry, and installation flexibility. They are widely used in coal mines, metal mines, tunneling projects, and industrial haulage systems where short-distance transport efficiency matters more than high speed.
At Glory Steel Work, we supply GB standard mining rails engineered for reliable performance, consistent dimensions, and long service life in demanding mining environments.
What Is Mining Rail?
Mining rail is a category of rail products developed for light to medium-duty transport lines inside mines and industrial sites. It is commonly installed in underground tunnels, shafts, and temporary haulage routes.
Key characteristics of mining rail include:
- Lighter section weight for easier handling underground
- Stable rail head profile for smooth wheel contact
- Good wear resistance under repetitive load cycles
- Compatibility with common mining fasteners and sleepers

Mining Rail Materials & Mechanical Properties
Glory Steel Work mining rails are produced using Q235 or 55Q carbon steel, two steel grades commonly specified for light mining rail systems and industrial haulage lines.
These materials are selected to balance load capacity, wear resistance, and fabrication cost, making them suitable for underground mining, short-distance transport tracks, and temporary rail systems.
- Q235 is a low-carbon structural steel widely used in light-duty mining rail applications.
- 55Q is a dedicated rail steel grade designed for improved strength and surface durability.
light Rail Manufacturing, Processing & Custom Services
Processing & Surface Quality Control
All mining rails supplied by Glory Steel Work are manufactured through controlled hot rolling and standardized finishing processes to ensure stable performance and reliable installation.
Key quality controls focus on practical site requirements rather than over-engineering:
- Consistent rail head profile to maintain smooth wheel contact
- Flatness and straightness control to reduce derailment risk on light mining tracks
- Surface inspection to eliminate cracks, folds, and rolling defects
- Controlled surface condition to balance wear resistance and ease of installation
