Light rail is also known under various names such as Light Steel Rail, Gb Standard Light Steel Rails, and Transport Light Rail. For those looking for comprehensive light rail solutions, Yongyang provides a wide range of options tailored specifically to your transportation requirements.

Light Steel Rail constitutes a key component in railway track construction. This type of rail is characterized by its lightweight design, smaller cross-sectional area, and lower load-bearing capacity compared to traditional rails.



Typically manufactured from high-grade carbon steel, light steel rails undergo a series of processes including rolling, forging, and quenching. The resultant product boasts remarkable strength, superior wear resistance, and effective corrosion resistance. Additionally, light rails are advantageous due to their reduced weight, ease of installation and maintenance, all at a lower cost.

When placed alongside conventional heavy rail, light rail stands out due to its advantageous properties such as lighter weight and more compact size. These features make it highly suitable for urban rail systems, as well as for internal railways within various industrial and mining operations.
