Tp08 Tie Plates for Railway Fastening System

Product Introduction
We manufacture all types of base plates suitable for various rail sections, for use on wooden, steel or concrete sleepers and ballast-less tracks used with elastic fastenings on wooden sleepers and 'K' type fastening system.

Cast iron can be the welded or fabricated type, depending upon the customers requirements. Our rail tie plate can be made to suit various rail section, i.e. UIC 60, UIC 54, RN 45, 90 A, etc.

Tie plate or sole plates are needed in rail installation, as they not only support the rails, but also enable the entire fastening system to be fixed on. Rail tie plates are the uppermost component of a crane rail or track support system. The primary function of a tie plate or sole plate is to provide the rail with a flat, smooth resting surface while allowing for vertical alignment of the rail system. Tie plates are secured by Anchor Bolts, also known as Holding Down Bolts. Sole plates are typically installed with a layer of grout cast beneath, which fills the void between the sole plate and the concrete foundation.
