Carbon Steel Plates for Railways & Transport | Supplier India

Carbon Steel Plates for Railways & Transport – Strong, Durable & Tested for Dynamic Loads

Looking for carbon steel plates for railway wagons, coaches, bridges, and transport equipment manufacturing?
At Hindustan Steel Corporation, we supply IS 2062, ASTM A36, EN S275/S355, and A572 plates with MTC, cut-to-size service, and third-party inspection for Indian Railways, metro projects, freight wagon OEMs, and export projects across UAE, Saudi Arabia, Africa, and Southeast Asia.

What Are Transport & Railway Steel Plates?

These are high-strength carbon steel plates used for fabricating railway components, rolling stock, railway bridges, and transportation vehicle structures.

Designed to withstand dynamic impact, vibration, fatigue stress, and axle loads during railway and transport operations

 

Applications Across Railways & Transport Industry

  • Railway Bridges – Girders, stiffeners, base plates
  • Freight Wagons – Side walls, floors, bolsters
  • Passenger Coaches – Underframes, structural supports
  • Metro Rail Infrastructure – Platform structures, bridges
  • Container Fabrication – Chassis frames, corner posts
  • Truck & Trailer Bodies – Load beds, cross members
  • Transport Equipment Manufacturing – Low-bed trailers, flatbeds
  • Railway Station Structures – Footbridges, shelters

We serve railway contractors, coach and wagon OEMs, and infrastructure EPCs.
