What are the application areas of the SKL rail fastening system?

The SKL rail fastening system is used in various applications, including high-speed rail, heavy haul, mixed traffic, freight, and urban rail transit (metro, tram), and is suitable for both ballasted and slab tracks. It is also used on different types of sleepers, including concrete, steel, and plastic.

Specific application areas

• High-speed rail: Known for its high fatigue resistance and stability, making it suitable for high-stress, high-speed lines.

• Heavy haul and freight: Widely used in heavy haul track where it can withstand the significant forces generated by freight trains.

• Urban rail transit: Applications include metros and tram lines, where its elastic properties can help reduce vibration and noise.

• Turnouts: Specialized SKL clips are used for turnouts, providing a secure and elastic clamping for the more complex and high-stress components.

• Ballasted track: One of its most common uses, securing rails to concrete sleepers on ballasted tracks.

• Slab track: Also feasible for embedded track, which is common in slab track systems.
