The rail fastening system is an essential component of the railway track structure, responsible for maintaining rail stability and ensuring safe train operation. To guarantee its long-term reliable performance, regular maintenance and proper care are of great importance.
During extended operation, rail fastening systems are subjected to vibration, impact, climate variation, and corrosion. Without timely maintenance, issues such as gauge deviation, insufficient clamping force, or component aging may occur, potentially compromising train safety.
GNEE RAIL offers different kinds of railway fasteners to meet client's requirements, such as Elastic Rail Clip and Clamp, Rail Screw Spike, Plastic Dowel, High Tensile Track Bolt with Nut, Rail Base(Tie) Plate, Rail Fish Plate, Railway Shoulder(Insert), Fish Bolt, Railroad Rubber and EVA Pad, etc. Samples and drawings provided by customer, we will manufacture qualified products accordingly. We also deal with Steel Rail, Sleeper, Auto Bolt and other customized parts.

The Key Point of Maintain Railway Fasteners
First, the tightening condition of the fastening system should be inspected regularly. For tracks using elastic rail clips or bolted fastening systems, it is necessary to periodically measure the clamping force to ensure that the fasteners are not loose or fatigued.
