A sandrail is a lightweight vehicle similar to a dune buggy, but designed specifically for operation on open sand.

Sandrails are usually built as a [[spaceframe]] by welding steel tubes together.<ref>{{cite web|title=How they are built sandrails |url= http://www.marksdreamshack.com/how-they-are-built-sandrails |website=www.marksdreamshack.com |access-date=14 April 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Twister Sand Cars |url= http://thebuggyshop.50megs.com/sandcars/ |website=www.thebuggyshop.50megs.com |access-date=14 April 2018}}</ref> The name sandrail is due to the frame "rails" present. The advantage of this method is that the fabricator can change fundamental parts of the vehicle (usually the suspension and addition of a built-in roll cage). Sandrails, as per dune buggies, often have the engine located behind the driver. Sizes can vary from a small-engine one-seat size to four-seat vehicles with eight or more cylinders.<ref>{{cite web|title=Buying a Sandrail 101 |url= http://www.acmecarco.com/berrien-buggy/sand-rails/buggy-101 |website=www.acmecarco.com |access-date=14 April 2018}}</ref>

A similar, more recent generation of off-road vehicle, often similar in appearance to a sandrail, but designed for a different use, is the "[[off road go-kart]]". The difference may be little more than fitting all-terrain tires instead of sand tires and the much smaller size of the engine.
