South Australia runs trains on more than one track gauge, and Adelaide crews often work on both. We make rail gauges in our Newcastle, NSW workshop for rail projects and maintenance teams in Adelaide and across South Australia, set to the track they will be used on.
Gauges for South Australian track
- Broad gauge (1600 mm): Adelaide’s suburban rail network
- Standard gauge (1435 mm): the interstate network through Adelaide, and the Glenelg tram line
- Custom settings: dual gauge sections, yards, sidings and industrial track
Our rail gauge range
Track gauges
Check the distance between the running rails during construction, resleepering and routine inspection.
Flangeway and check gauges
Verify flangeway widths and check rail clearances at turnouts, crossings and street-running tram track.
Rail profile gauges
Measure railhead wear and shape so grinding and rail replacement can be planned before wear affects performance.
Custom gauges
We design and machine gauges for unusual rail sections, turnouts and combined checks, so a crew carries one tool instead of several.
Accuracy you can record
Every gauge is machined from certified materials on CNC equipment and can be supplied with a traceable calibration certificate. See our gauges page for machining gauges as well.
