A rail pad, also called rail rubber plate, is designed between the rail tie plate and foot of the rail, made by an elastic polyurethane mat, which is interposed between steel rails and tie sleepers to protect the sleeper top from wearing and impacting.
GNEE RAIL is one of the few suppliers approved to supply grooved rubber base plates (GRSP Rail rubber pads) for China Railway and other railway projects across the country. Our products are also widely exported outside China.The combination of grooved design and selected rubber gives these pads a unique high elasticity, firmness and resistance to weathering.

What is the primary usage of the GRSP Rail Rubber Pad?
The primary use of a GRSP (Grooved Rubber Sole Plate) is to provide cushioning and absorb vibrations and shock between the rail and the sleeper (tie), protecting track components, increasing safety, and extending the lifespan of the railway system by reducing impact loads, preventing sleeper wear, and providing electrical insulation.
Key Functions:
- Vibration & Shock Absorption: Dampens vibrations from heavy, high-speed trains, reducing noise and track instability.
- Sleeper Protection: Prevents abrasion and crushing of sleepers (concrete, wood, or steel) caused by dynamic forces.
- Increased Friction: Enhances the grip between the rail and sleeper, improving the security of the fastening system.
- Electrical Insulation: Can provide insulation for signaling systems, isolating electrical currents.
- Extended Lifespan: By mitigating stress and wear, GRSPs significantly increase the service life of rails and sleepers.
GNEE RAIL provides exceptional elastic rail pads of various types for high-speed railways, normal-speed railways, and cranes. Especially the rail pads made of rubber, EVA, TPEE, and HDPE are very popular with customers. Our railway rubber pads fit the rails such as UIC54, UIC60, BS80lbs, BS100lbs, etc. We have more than 130set of machines in our production lines which can reach an annual production capacity of up to 2000, 000 pieces of rail pads. We offer a wide range of rail pads and other track materials at competitive prices.
