What is Rail Tie Plate

Aug 20, 2025 Leave a message

Rail tie plate also called rail base plate or sole plate is a main component in railroading construction of a crane rail or track support system.Rail tie plates are used not only to support the rails, but also to fix the entire rail fastening systems. It always works together with anchor bolts or spikes by sustaining the load of a rail track and also transferring part of the load to the tie sleepers, with a flat smooth resting surface to guarantee the vertical alignment and hold the rail in correct gauge for a rail line system.
