Rail anchors, also known as anti-creepers, are used in fastening systems to provide anti-creep functionality. GNEE RAIL-supplied rail anchors are manufactured from elastic spring steel, attached to the underside of the rail base and pressed against the side of the sleeper. They effectively prevent longitudinal track movement caused by temperature variations or vibrations, thereby extending sleeper service life.

Installation of Rail tie Anchors
1.Select the appropriate rail anchor for the specific application
2.Clean the sleeper or tie - Before installing the rail anchor, the sleeper or tie should be cleaned of any debris or dirt to ensure a secure fit.
3.Position the rail anchor - The rail anchor should be positioned on the sleeper or tie, with the curved end facing the base of the rail. The anchor should be placed in the center of the rail base, and its orientation should be consistent throughout the installation process.
4.Hammer the rail anchor - Once the rail anchor is in position, it should be hammered into place using a sledgehammer. The anchor should be hammered until it is snug against the base of the rail.
5.Test the rail anchor - After the rail anchor is installed, it should be tested for tightness and stability. Any loose rail anchors should be re-positioned and re-hammered until they are secure.
