ZongXiang, renowned for its advanced manufacturing capabilities and vast inventory, specializes in rails weighing from 8kg to 60kg per meter, including national standards like 50kg/m heavy rails made from U71Mn steel. These rails are engineered for superior wear resistance, high compressive strength, and durability, making them ideal for heavy-load transport in mining, factories, ports, and construction sites. The 50kg rail, in particular, supports inter-regional railways, urban transit, and industrial sidings, with head widths around 70mm, precise tolerances, and lengths customizable up to 12m or more. This export batch was meticulously produced to meet Saudi standards, undergoing rigorous quality checks for straightness, hardness, and weldability.zxsteelrail.com

The order originated from a Saudi client involved in expanding industrial rail networks amid the Kingdom's Vision 2030 initiative. Saudi Arabia's ambitious projects, such as the Riyadh Metro, Haramain High-Speed Rail, and mining expansions, demand robust steel infrastructure to handle growing freight and passenger volumes. A coal mine operator, seeking reliable suppliers, discovered ZongXiang's website during a search and initiated contact. After detailed consultations via email and calls, the client specified 50kg rails for enhanced load-bearing in harsh desert conditions. ZongXiang's sales team provided samples, technical specs, and competitive pricing, securing the deal swiftly.

Logistics played a crucial role, with the rails packaged securely to withstand long-haul sea freight from Zhengzhou to Jeddah or Dammam ports. Despite challenges like Red Sea shipping delays, the consignment arrived on schedule, cleared customs efficiently—thanks to compliant certifications—and was installed successfully. Feedback from the client praised the rails' performance: "Exceptional strength and smooth operation, boosting our efficiency." This follows ZongXiang's prior Saudi exports, including 30 tons of 50kg rails, 200m of 22kg rails, 18kg light rails for mines, and 20 tons of QU100 crane rails for substations, building a strong track record.

This export aligns with surging Saudi-China steel trade, valued at $2.83 billion in 2024, fueled by infrastructure booms. ZongXiang's commitment to innovation, such as eco-friendly production and accessories like fishplates and clamps, positions it for future partnerships. As Saudi Arabia diversifies beyond oil, reliable suppliers like ZongXiang contribute to sustainable growth. With over 20 years of experience, the company invites global inquiries for rails and fasteners. Contact: zxsteel@zxsteelgroup.com or +86-19937123680.
