ASCE 60LBS Rail

Signum Rail Fasteners specializes in the supply of ASCE 60 lb/yd rail, providing high-quality T-sections for light rail, mining, and crane runway systems. We support industrial projects with quick-ship inventory and the exact joint bars, bolts, and clips needed for a complete installation.

ASCE 60 lb/yd rail is a versatile "T-section" steel rail designed for stability and balanced load distribution. Since its height and base width are identical (4.25 inches), it provides a stable footprint for medium-duty industrial applications without the extreme weight of mainline railroad steel.

Technical Profile

• Nominal Weight: 60 lbs per yard (29.76 kg/m).

• Standard Specification: ASTM A1 / AREMA standards.

• Dimensions:

Height: 4-1/4" (107.95 mm)

Head Width: 2-3/8" (60.32 mm)

Web Thickness: 15/32" (11.9 mm)

Common Material Grades

• Q235B: The economical choice for light utility tracks or temporary lines.

• 55Q: A higher carbon version used for standard industrial warehouse tracks.

• U71Mn: The "premium" wear-resistant grade, essential for high-cycle crane runways or heavy mining ore cars.

Top Use Cases

• Crane Runways: Supporting gantry or overhead bridge cranes in manufacturing plants.

• Mining Operations: Durable enough for heavy ore cars but light enough for easier installation in tight tunnels.

• Amusement & Light Rail: Often used in regional parks or smaller transit systems.

• Marine/Ports: Found in shipyards for moving heavy transfer carts or loading equipment.
