A tie plate, also known as base plate or sole plate, which is a steel plate that used between the steel rail and railway sleeper. Tie plate basically has some holes and shoulder(s). But there is no shoulder in some types of tie plate. Rail tie plate usually has tapered side to improve the stability and reduce the twisting and torsion of rails. There are close relationship between rail and tie plate. Each tie plate is generally made for corresponding size of rail. In another words, the tie plate has to be matched with width of steel rail.
Railroad tie plates are used to given a smooth and uniform bearing surface for the rail and the tie in order to prevents the rail from cutting into the tie, maintain gauge, and also helps to better distribute the wheel load to ties.
GNEE RAIL is capable of producing rail tie plates by either casting(welded or fabricated type) or forging or rolling, applicable of different rail sections, for wooden, steel or concrete sleepers, depending on the load and rail standard, i.e. UIC 60, UIC 54, RN 45, 90 A, etc.
