Henan Zongxiang Heavy Industry Import & Export Co., Ltd., commonly known as ZongXiang, a leading Chinese supplier of steel rails and track accessories, has successfully exported a batch of ASCE25 steel rails to Colombia. Established in 1997 as a subsidiary of Zhongxiang Steel Group, ZongXiang specializes in providing high-quality rails compliant with international standards, including American (ASCE), Chinese, European, and Japanese specifications. With over 25 years of experience, the company maintains large inventories and strong partnerships with major steel mills, enabling timely delivery for global projects.

The ASCE25 steel rail, also known as 25 lb/yd rail, is a lightweight track designed for light-duty applications. It weighs approximately 12.2 kg per meter (25 pounds per yard) and features these key dimensions:

· Rail height ? 69.85 mm

· Bottom width ? 69.85 mm

· Web thickness ? 7.54 mm

· Head width ? 38.1 mm

Manufactured from high-quality carbon steel such as Q235B, 55Q, or U71Mn, it offers excellent wear resistance, tensile strength of at least 485 MPa, and elongation of ?20%. Equivalent to the Chinese 12kg/m light rail, ASCE25 is ideal for mining railroad lines, industrial crane tracks, temporary transport routes, and hopper truck operations in factories or mines. Its lightweight design reduces installation costs by 30-50% compared to heavier rails, while ensuring durability for axle loads up to 14 tons in moderate environments.

Colombia represents a key market for ZongXiang, with South America accounting for numerous annual orders despite global challenges like the pandemic. The company has previously exported various rails to Colombia, including 24kg, 8kg, and ASCE30 types, often for industrial expansions such as crane installations in plants or coal transportation routes. In one notable case, a Colombian facility expanding production discovered ZongXiang online and selected their rails for small crane tracks handling coal routes, praising the stability and efficiency post-installation.

This latest ASCE25 batch supports Colombia's growing demand for reliable light rails in mining, manufacturing, and infrastructure sectors. Colombia's railway network, spanning over 3,300 km with ongoing reactivation efforts, relies on imports for specialized tracks amid projects like the Central Corridor and Pacific Rail Corridor. ZongXiang's exports contribute to these developments by providing cost-effective, high-performance solutions that enhance safety and operational efficiency.

ZongXiang's commitment to quality is evident in rigorous testing and customization options, including drilling, cutting, and accessory supply like fishplates and clamps. Customers worldwide commend their responsive service and competitive pricing. This export not only strengthens bilateral trade ties between China and Colombia but also underscores ZongXiang's role in global infrastructure advancement.

As Colombia pushes for railway revival to boost freight and connectivity, partnerships with suppliers like ZongXiang will be crucial. For inquiries on ASCE25 or other rails, ZongXiang offers professional support to meet diverse project needs.
