Technical Features and Advantages

 

Material Quality

Constructed from Q235 or 55Q, the rail ensures sufficient hardness and wear resistance, balancing durability with machinability—vital for light-duty and temporary track needs.

Standard Compliance

Manufactured in accordance with GB11264-2012 (China Standard Light Rail) and YB222-63, guaranteeing consistency in critical dimensions, weight, and mechanical properties.

Compact, Efficient Design

At 18.06 kg/m, the rail is lightweight, facilitating manual handling and quick installation—a major benefit for factory internal lines, mining tunnels, ports, and construction sites.

In order to better serve the different needs of customers, our technical team is available to provide advice and support, helping every customer to optimize their rail selections to minimize life cycle costs. We supply suitable rail parts, like fish plates, rail clips, bolts and nuts. We supply rail processing, like 45 degree mitre cut, welding process, milling process, special profile processing, etc. Our engineer help customer to design railroad line according to requirements, and build mining railroad line and crane moving line. The technical support provided by YONGYANG Rail can ensure that every rail we deliver provides optimum performance throughout its service life.
