Cast basalt - industrial steel product
Hot rolled DIN 5901 S20 light rail 19.8kg/m, customizable length & deep processing, complete matching rail fasteners available for industrial transport track projects.
DIN 5901 S20 Light Rail is a medium-duty hot rolled steel rail with a unit weight of 19.8 kg/m, manufactured under the German DIN 5901 standard. It is widely used in factory transport systems, overhead cranes, mine tunnels and warehouse logistics.
DIN 5901 S20 light rail is a medium-load hot rolled steel rail defined by German DIN5901 standard, with a unit weight of 19.8kg per meter. It owns higher structural strength than S10 and S14 light rails, featuring easy installation and stable bearing capacity. This rail is extensively adopted for factory transport trolleys, overhead travelling cranes, mine tunnels and warehouse logistics conveying track systems.

Full set supporting parts supplied together with S20 rail: rail clips, fish plates, base steel pads, bolt assemblies, rail pressure fixers.
S20 rails are bundled with steel straps and protected by wooden blocks, end caps, and plastic sleeves.
Anti-rust oil coating and export-grade packaging ensure excellent protection against corrosion, deformation, and handling damage during container or bulk sea transportation.
The DIN 5901 Light Rail is a German national standard that defines the dimensions, weights, and tolerances for hot-rolled steel rails used in light to medium-duty railway transport systems. Designed for industrial railways, mining haulage tracks, metro networks, and light construction projects, this rail type provides a reliable and economical solution for applications that do not require heavy mainline or high-speed performance.
DIN 5901 light rails are used in light to medium-duty track systems requiring compact design and easy installation. Typical uses include industrial transport lines, workshops, mining tunnels, port service tracks, and temporary construction rails. They are ideal for low axle load and moderate-speed operations.
The table below presents key specifications of DIN 5901 light rail models, detailing their height, base width, and weight per meter.
| Type of Rail | Height (mm) | Base width (mm) | Head width (mm) | Web (mm) | Steel Grade | Weight (kg/m) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| S10 | 70 | 58 | 32 | 6 | Q235B/55Q | 10 |
| S14 | 80 | 70 | 38 | 9 | Q235B/55Q | 14 |
| S18 | 93 | 82 | 43 | 10 | Q235B/55Q | 18.3 |
| S20 | 100 | 82 | 44 | 10 | Q235B/55Q | 19.8 |
| S24 | 115 | 90 | 53 | 10 | Q235B/55Q | 24.4 |
| S30 | 108 | 108 | 60.3 | 12.3 | Q235B/55Q | 30.03 |
DIN 5901 specifies the dimensions, weight, and tolerances for hot-rolled light steel rails, ensuring consistent quality and safe performance. Though replaced by EN 13674-1, it remains widely used for its reliability and compatibility with existing rail systems.
