Standards: JIS E 1101
Applications
Light Industrial Railways
Used in factory internal transport systems (e.g., automotive assembly lines) and warehouse logistics.
Supports low-speed carts and trolleys with payloads up to 5 tons.
Mining & Quarry Operations
Deployed in underground mine tunnels for ore transport, where its lightweight design facilitates easy installation in confined spaces .
Typically paired with wooden sleepers and simple rail clips.
Narrow-Gauge Tourist Railways
Common in amusement parks (e.g., mini-trains) and heritage railways with track gauges of 600–762 mm .
Cost-effective alternative to heavier rails for non-commercial use.
Temporary Construction Sites
Used for temporary material transport in construction zones due to its ease of handling and low cost.
