The weight of concrete sleepers is influenced by various factors, including their size, shape, material density, and internal structural design. For example, the weight of standard concrete sleepers is usually between 40 and 50 kilograms. And specific types of sleepers, such as TZII prestressed concrete sleepers, can weigh up to 200 kg1. Therefore, the weight of concrete sleepers varies depending on the type and specifications.

1. Standard concrete railway sleepers: The length is approximately 2.6 meters to 2.8 meters, the width is about 25 cm, and the thickness is around 20 cm. The weight of each sleeper generally ranges from 250 kg to 300 kg.
2. Heavy-duty sleepers (used for higher load-bearing or high-strength railways): The weight can exceed 350 kg.
3. The weight of concrete sleepers varies depending on the type, size, and specifications. The following is weight information for several different types of concrete sleepers:

The length of Type I and Type II concrete sleepers is 250 cm, while the length of Type III concrete sleepers is 260 cm. The cross-section of the sleepers is trapezoidal, with a smaller top section and a larger bottom section. This design helps increase the support area of the sleeper and allows for the placement of more steel reinforcement in the lower section to better resist positive bending moments.

Type I and Type II concrete sleepers typically weigh between 220 kg and 250 kg, while Type III concrete sleepers weigh around 350 kg. And for example, the reinforced concrete sleepers used in mining operations in the UK weigh 285 kg each, those in the US weigh 280 kg, and the lighter ones used in Germany weigh approximately 230 kg.
