The S12 rail is a lightweight steel profile from the DIN 5901 standard, designed for low-speed, light-duty transport systems. With a nominal weight of 12 kg per meter, its compact cross-section and symmetrical shape make it an ideal and cost-effective solution for a variety of specialized track applications where a larger, heavier rail is not required. It provides a reliable foundation for light wheeled vehicles and equipment.

Key Features and Benefits
The DIN S12 rail’s design is optimized for efficiency and ease of use in light industrial settings.
- Lightweight Profile: The low mass per meter makes this rail easy to transport, handle, and install, significantly reducing labor and equipment costs during track construction.
- Symmetrical Design: The symmetrical shape of the rail profile aids in stable alignment and ensures that the track remains true, which is essential for smooth and safe operation of wheeled vehicles.
- Cost-Effective Solution: The compact design and use of standard steel grades make the S12 rail a budget-friendly choice for light-duty applications where heavier, more expensive rails are not required.
Applications
The DIN S12 rail is a versatile product widely used in a variety of low-stress, industrial environments:
- Underground Tunnels and Mines: Provides reliable tracks for very light-duty transport systems and trolleys in confined spaces.
- Workshops and Warehouses: Serves as a permanent track for small industrial carts, trolleys, and light transport systems within factories and storage facilities.
- Specialized Systems: Used as a guide rail for automated machinery, small cranes, and conveyor systems that require a stable but lightweight track.
- General Industrial Use: Can be used for small-scale transport and material handling projects in various industrial settings.
