UIC 60
Product Overview
UIC60 rails (also called 60E1 rail)are engineered for high-speed passenger networks and ultra-heavy-haul freight corridors, setting the benchmark for durability and safety in global rail infrastructure. Compliant with UIC 860 and EN 13674-1, UIC60 rails are manufactured from premium steel grades (R260, R260Mn, R350HT) to resist wear, fatigue, and dynamic loading. Ideal for high-speed mainlines, mining railways, and port terminals, UIC 60 rails combine precision engineering with global compliance to ensure performance in the most demanding environments.
