What Is DIN5901 S49 Rail
DIN 5901 S49 rails are railway rails manufactured in accordance with German standards, with a nominal weight of 49 kg/m. They are widely used in heavy-duty industrial tracks, mining transportation, port yards, industrial railways, and switch installations. The DIN 5901 S49 rails supplied by Glory Crane are made from R260 (900A) and R350HT materials, with dimensional tolerances that comply with the requirements of the DIN 5901 standard.
Key Features and Advantages:
German-Standard Precision: Manufactured in strict accordance with the DIN 5901 standard, S49 rails ensure a consistent weight of 49 kg/m and precise dimensional tolerances, guaranteeing reliable alignment during track laying.
Premium R260 / R350HT / U71Mn Materials: Glory Crane offers three materials: R260 (900A), heat-treated R350HT (350HT), and U71Mn. S49 rails combine high strength, high toughness, and excellent wear resistance to meet the needs of various projects.
High Load-Bearing Capacity: The 49 kg/m rail cross-section can support heavy-duty locomotives and freight cars, making it an ideal choice for mining, port, and industrial rail applications.
Wear & Fatigue Resistance: Heat-treated R350HT S49 rails feature higher surface hardness, which reduces rolling contact fatigue and extends the service life of curved tracks.
Full Inspection & Mill Certificate: Each S49 rail undergoes ultrasonic testing and is accompanied by an EN 10204 3.1 mill certificate, ensuring full traceability throughout the supply chain.
Custom Length & Machining: Glory Crane offers custom cutting, drilling, and punching services for S49 rails to precisely meet project requirements, ensuring they are ready for installation upon arrival.
Export-Ready Global Supply: We provide export packaging, container loading, and FOB/CIF/DDP logistics services, delivering S49 rails to project sites worldwide.
15+ Years Export Experience: With 15+ years of export experience, GloryCrane offers full export documentation, third-party inspection (SGS/BV), and reliable packaging for overseas shipment.
One-to-one project support: GLORYCRANE offer one-on-one project support, including rail selection guidance, drawing confirmation, and accessory matching. Technical team with deep industry expertise ensures smooth implementation for international projects
With over 15 years of export experience, GloryCrane has helped clients in Europe, Southeast Asia, and Africa successfully use EN 49E1 rails as a substitute for S49 rails — especially when S49 is out of stock or not locally available. Our team understands both DIN and EN standards, and can ensure your rail system remains fully compatible with existing track infrastructure and accessories.

Application of S49/49E1 Rails
S49 Rail for Overseas Railway Projects — Glory Crane supplies export-grade 49 kg/m rails that comply with the DIN 5901 standard, complete with a factory certificate of conformity (EN 10204 3.1) and export packaging, and offers FOB, CIF, and DDP shipping options to Africa, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and South America. S49 rails have been put into service in mainline railways, freight corridors, and industrial park projects in multiple countries.
Mining Track
The S49 rail for mining tracks is the primary rail type used in both underground and open-pit mining transportation systems. Its 49 kg/m cross-section can withstand heavy mine cars and harsh, abrasive environments. The U71Mn grade is particularly common in mining applications due to its excellent wear resistance and cost-effectiveness. Glory Crane offers S49 rails cut to length and pre-drilled, facilitating rapid installation in remote mining areas.
Port Yard
DIN 5901 rails for port yards are used as running rails for rail-mounted gantry cranes (RMGs), quay cranes, and stacking equipment. The precise tolerances of DIN 5901 S49 rails ensure smooth crane operation and reduce wear on the rail flanks. For container terminals with high-frequency operations, the R350HT grade is recommended to extend service life under repeated wheel loads.
Plant Railway
S49 rail for industrial railways is suitable for logistics transportation, switching tracks, and workshop transfer lines in steel mills, power plants, cement plants, and chemical industrial parks. The S49 rail offers a balanced strength-to-weight ratio, making it ideal for medium-sized industrial tracks. Our fixed-length and custom-cut services ensure seamless integration with existing plant layouts.
TBM Launching Track
S49 Rail for TBM Launching Track—During the TBM launch phase, the S49 rail serves as the reaction track system, supporting the launch reaction frame and segment transport cars. The high yield strength of the R350HT S49 rail enables it to withstand the concentrated thrust loads of large-diameter TBMs.
Industrial Crane Track
S49 Rail for Industrial Crane Tracks—Overhead and gantry cranes in foundries, warehouses, and assembly lines use S49 rails as their running surface. The 49 kg/m rail cross-section effectively distributes wheel load, and the pre-drilled bolt holes at the ends facilitate the installation and replacement of crane tracks.
Freight Sidings & Shunting Lines
S49 rails are widely used on freight branch lines, industrial sidings, and switching tracks. Under moderate axle load conditions, 49 kg/m rails are a cost-effective alternative to heavy-duty mainline rail types. The U71Mn steel grade provides the durability required for frequent starting, stopping, and shunting operations.
Complete Accessories for Mining Rail Systems – Enhance Performance & Safety
As a professional supplier of rail track system, GloryCrane not only provides high-quality light steel rails but also a full range of compatible installation accessories, ensuring safe and efficient operation of the entire rail system. All accessories undergo strict quality control to perfectly match rails, enabling “one-stop procurement + worry-free installation.”
Fish plates serve to connect steel rails and distribute loads, ensuring track stability. GloryCrane supplies fish plates for 49e1 rails, made of forged steel or Q235/Q345. Common rail fishplate configurations with 4/6-hole
Fishplate bolts and nuts are essential for fastening fishplates to rails. GloryCrane provides fishplate bolts with diameters of 16mm, made from 8.8grade or Q235. Size: M20–M24, with custom length based on rail & fishplate thickness.
GloryCrane can provide rail clip models suitable for S49 steel rails under different construction requirements: Wjk-model, ZYM-Model, KPO-3 / KPO-6, and weldable rail clips.
Rubber baseplates are used beneath the rails to absorb vibration and shock, helping reduce noise and extend track life. GloryCrane offer rubber matting for 9kg light rail bottoms, with a regular thickness of 510mm, made of highly elastic black natural rubber material, which can be customised to the size of the rail bottom.
Rail Soleplates
The base plate, also known as the sole plate, is an optional but important accessory used beneath the rail to provide enhanced stability and load distribution. They are especially useful when the rail is installed on concrete floors or steel beams, helping to reduce vibration, protect the substructure, and extend the life of both the rail and the foundation. Custom drilling and surface treatments are available to meet specific installation requirements. When combined with rail clips or anchor bolts, base plates offer a complete and reliable track fastening solution.
Alumothermic Welding kits for Rails
GloryCrane offers a full set of alumothermic welding equipment for crane rail track installation. Our solution uses an aluminum – iron oxide exothermic reaction to form high – strength, fatigue – resistant joints. With no need for complex power setups, it enables rapid on – site installation, making it a preferred choice for heavy – duty crane rails.
