53G1 Grooved Rail
Product Overview
53G1 Grooved Rail is a purpose-built grooved/girder rail that balances a low excavation footprint with sufficient head area for predictable wear life on light-to-medium tram corridors. It’s an excellent choice when projects prioritise short reinstatement times, lower material handling cost and straightforward integration with standard concrete troughs.

Material Properties
Key benefits
Low civil impact: reduced profile minimizes trench depth and pavement reinstatement. Cost-efficient: lighter mass cuts procurement and transport cost without unduly shortening service intervals for light traffic. Easy to integrate: compatible with common embedded troughs and sealing/drainage systems; CAD drawings and DXF/SVG profiles available. Procurement-ready: supplied with mill certificates and optional NDT/third-party inspection to support approvals. Flexible supply: standard stock lengths, cut-to-length and pre-drilling options.
Typical applications
Light-use urban tram lines and low-frequency branch routes.
Shared streets, pedestrianised precincts and heritage restorations.
Short sidings, pocket tracks and crossings where shallow embedment is required.
Schemes where fast civil reinstatement and low logistical footprint are priorities.
Customisation & options
Cut-to-length supply, pre-drilling, notches and bespoke machining to drawing.
Alternate steel grades or heat treatment (for increased wear/RCF resistance).
Corrosion protection and sacrificial coatings for coastal or chemically aggressive environments.
2D CAD deliverables (DXF / SVG) and full supply drawing provided with quotation.

Faqs
Q :Is 53G1 suitable for busy tram corridors?
A :No — 53G1 is intended for light-to-medium duty. For high-frequency or heavy-axle routes choose a heavier grooved profile or a hardened grade.
Q : Can you supply CAD profiles and certificates?
A: Yes — DXF/SVG profiles, supply drawings and mill certificates are normally provided with quotations.
