Export Packaging

Export Packaging & Delivery Solution

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.

Applications of S20 Rails

Factory Transport Lines

Commonly used for trolleys and transfer carts inside workshops. Therefore, it supports stable operation and smooth movement under moderate loads.

Crane & Port Tracks

Designed for overhead cranes and mobile lifting systems. Moreover, it provides excellent alignment and wear resistance under frequent rolling.

Mining and Tunneling

Suitable for light ore transport and underground logistics. As a result, it ensures reliable function where space and curvature are limited.

Warehouse & Logistic

Used in automated conveyor or storage rail systems. Consequently, it offers efficient load handling and long-term operational reliability.

What is DIN5901 Rail?

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.
