What is Light Steel Rail?
Light steel rail (LSR) refers to lighter, smaller-profile steel tracks, typically under 30 kg/meter, used for temporary, low-load, or specialized transport in mines, factories, construction sites, and urban transit, offering cost-effectiveness and easier installation compared to heavy rails. Made from carbon steel (like Q235, 55Q) and available in various weights (e.g., 8kg, 15kg, 22kg), they are designed for easy handling, rapid deployment, and compatibility with light-duty vehicles.
The standard models GNEE RAILWAY RAILWAY can provide include:
- GB standard: 8kg, 9kg, 12kg, 15kg, 18kg, 22kg, 24kg, 30kg
