55G2 Grooved Rail
Product Overview
55G2 Grooved Rail (often referenced as 41GP rail) — a medium-weight grooved/girder rail engineered for embedded street track where durability and compact embedment matter. Engineered to save civil work without compromising rail life, 55G2 rail delivers the right balance of stiffness, wear performance and a modest footprint — ideal for busy urban corridors, junctions and heritage-style routes that require modern performance.
Key Features
Rail Height: 152.5 mm| Base Width: 141.5mm |
Head Width: 116.9mm | Web Thickness: 13mm
Weight: 55.37 kg/m
Materials & standards
Standards: manufactured to grooved-rail industry requirements (EN 14811 for grooved rails is the recognised European reference for profiles and acceptance testing).
Steel & grades: typically supplied in carbon-manganese rail steels; non-heat-treated and heat-treated (hardened) options are available depending on wear and rolling-contact fatigue (RCF) needs. Hardness requirements and heat-treatment depth are project-specific and are treated during grade selection.
Length: Usually 12 m/ea. Custom sizes available
MOQ: 2000t
Typical applications
Embedded tram and light-rail in city streets and shared-space corridors.
Junctions, crossings and constrained-clearance areas where shallower embedment is preferred.
Heritage lines and retrofit projects that need a modern, serviceable replacement for older grooved profiles.
Customisation & delivery options
Cut-to-length supply, pre-drilling, notches and special machining for turnouts or bespoke fastenings.
Alternate steel grades or heat treatment for high-wear corridors.
Corrosion protection systems or sacrificial coatings for coastal or chemically aggressive environments.

Q ： Is 55G2 grooved rail suited to heavy-axle loads or freight?
A ：55G2 is aimed at medium-duty tramway applications. For sustained heavy axle loads or severe RCF environments, specify a heavier section or a heat-treated/hardened grade.

Why choose 55G2 grooved rail?
Compact, capable section: smaller excavation depth than heavyweight tram rails but with enough mass to resist frequent tram loading. Proven in service: adopted by global tram suppliers and stockists as a go-to medium-duty grooved section. Ready for design teams: supplied with CAD profiles, mill certificates and optional inspection services to speed approvals and installation.
