A rail fish plate is a structural connector that restores functional continuity in track systems by linking rail webs into a unified stress-transfer path, preventing progressive damage at rail ends caused by cyclic traffic loading.
GNEE RAILWAY RAILWAY supplies fish plates matched to GB 8–60 kg/m rails, UIC50/54/60, DIN536 A55–A120 crane rails, QU70–QU120 crane rails, JIS models, AS1085 rails, BS11 profiles, and AREMA/ASCE standards, and provides documentation for installation and inspection.

GNEE RAILWAY RAILWAY supplies standard and joggled fishplates for various rail profiles and international standards. We provide reliable rail joint components with customized solutions to meet different track requirements.
What is the material of the rail joint bar?
Rail joint bars (also known as fishplates, splice bars, or angle bars) are primarily constructed from high-strength carbon steel, such as 45#, 50#, or 55# steel, designed to withstand heavy loads, wear, and stress in railway tracks. They are utilized in standard bolted joints to connect rail ends, using materials like hot-rolled, heat-treated steel or, in specialized cases for electrical insulation, thermosetting composite materials.
