Rail fastening systems
Quick Overview
Rail Fastening systems are the critical link between rails and sleepers, balancing load distribution, vibration control and thermal movement. We supply rail clips, elastic fasteners, spikes/dog spikes, steel sole plates and rubber pads, and deliver complete engineered systems (SKL, E, Fast Clip, NABLA, KPO, Dog Spike). Each component contributes to vibration damping, wear resistance, electrical insulation and secure load transfer — combined into tailored kits for mining, heavy-haul and crane runways applications.
Rail Clips
— Flexible Clamping
Secure rails with spring-steel elasticity to absorb vibration and accommodate thermal expansion.
Elastic Fasteners
— Dynamic Adaptability
Combine spring-like flexibility with rigid locking to damp shocks, reduce noise and allow safe rail expansion.
Spikes / Dog Spikes
— Traditional Anchoring
Simple, cost-effective anchoring; dog spikes have barbed ends for extra grip on timber sleepers. Best for low-speed/light-load scenarios.
Steel Sole Plates
— Load Distribution
Spread rail loads across sleepers, protect sleepers, and provide level mounting surfaces; heavy-duty options are available.
Rubber Pads
— Damping & Insulation
Cushion impacts, attenuate noise and provide electrical insulation; thickness can be used to adjust rail height.
FAQs
Q: Do you provide samples or trial installations?
A:Yes — samples available for most components; trial installations and pilot sections can be arranged (sample costs/shipping usually borne by buyer or credited to order).
Q: What materials and finishes are available?
A:Common materials: spring steel, alloy steels; finishes: hot-dip galvanizing, zinc plating, painting, anti-wear coatings. Specify environment (corrosive/saline) for best option.
Q: Can you manufacture to drawing and provide drilled plates?
A:Yes — we produce per drawing, including drilled/slot plates and custom hole patterns. Upload CAD/DWG with your inquiry for quick evaluation.
