UIC60 rails are the international standard 60 kg/m profile essential for high-speed and heavy-load railway networks worldwide. GNEE RAIL operates advanced rolling mills and specialized production lines, delivering precision-engineered UIC60 rails with the massive production capacity required to fuel large-scale global infrastructure upgrades.
UIC60 Rail Specifications and Standards
The UIC60 rail, also known as the 60E1 profile, follows the EN 13674-1 standard. It weighs 60.34 kg per meter. This profile is designed for heavy traffic and high speeds.
| UIC60 | Tensile strength(Mpa) | Elongation (%) |
| Output | 920-980 | 12.0-15.0 |
| Average | 950 | 13.8 |
uic60 rail material
GNEE RAIL produces these rails using high-quality steel grades like R260, R350HT, and R320Cr. Each rail undergoes strict metallurgical testing. This ensures the steel reaches the necessary hardness and tensile strength. Proper adherence to these standards prevents premature rail wear. It also reduces long-term maintenance costs for railway operators.

Customized Rail Services by GNEE RAIL
GNEE RAIL produces high-precision uic60 rail sections. As a specialized factory, we provide customized manufacturing services that align with global infrastructure standards, ensuring our uic60 rail profile meets the exact load-bearing needs of modern railway upgrades.
- Customized Rail Lengths for Optimized Track Integrity
Standard lengths for the 60e1 rail do not always fit complex project designs. We offer customization for lengths ranging from 6 to 25 meters, or even longer for specific engineering needs.
Providing exact lengths reduces the number of rail joints in the field. Fewer joints mean a smoother ride and lower maintenance costs over time. Our factory uses automated cold-sawing equipment to ensure clean and precise cuts. This allows for immediate installation of the rail 60e1 upon delivery to the construction site.
- Precision Drilling and End-Machining for the UIC60 Rail Profile
Every railway network has unique requirements for fishplate connections. We provide customized drilling services for the uic60 rail based on your technical drawings. Our CNC machining centers can produce various hole diameters and spacing with millimeter precision.
We also offer rail end beveling and grinding services. These processes ensure a perfect fit for joint bars and specialized fasteners. By completing these tasks in our workshop, we save your team valuable time and labor costs during track assembly.
- Tailored Steel Grades for 60E1 Rail Applications
Different operating environments require specific metallurgical properties for the 60e1 rail. We produce these rails in various steel grades, including R260, R350HT, and R320Cr. For heavy-haul sections or sharp curves, we provide specialized head-hardening treatments.
This heat treatment significantly increases the surface hardness and wear resistance of the uic60 rail profile. Our technical team works with you to select the ideal chemical composition. This customization extends the service life of the track under extreme pressure or high-frequency traffic.
- Specialized Surface Coatings for Rail 60E1 Durability
Railways in coastal or industrial areas often face severe corrosion. We provide customized surface treatments for the rail 60e1 to protect your infrastructure investment. This includes specialized anti-rust painting and galvanizing options.
GNEE RAIL apply these coatings in a controlled factory environment to ensure uniform thickness and strong adhesion. These protective layers prevent oxidation and structural weakening. Customized coatings are essential for the uic60 rail when used in tunnels, bridges, or high-humidity regions.
At GNEE RAIL, we move beyond simple production to provide complete material solutions. Our factory-based technical team reviews your blueprints to suggest the most cost-effective customization options. We solve potential installation issues in our facility before the product reaches your site.
We recognize that large-scale infrastructure projects operate on strict budgets and tight schedules. Our manufacturing capacity allows us to handle high-volume customized orders for the uic60 rail profile without compromising delivery timelines.
If you are facing unique technical hurdles or require a specific configuration for your 60e1 rail project, our engineers are ready to provide a detailed technical evaluation. Contact us to discuss your specific requirements .
