Railroad tie plates (also known as rail tie plates) are essential components in railway fastening systems. Installed between the rail and the sleeper, they distribute train pressure, maintain gauge stability, and protect the sleepers. High-quality tie plates significantly extend the service life of the track and enhance operational safety.
GNEE RAIL specializes in producing three major types of railroad tie plates: forged tie plates, rolled base plate, and cast sole plate.
- Forged tie plates offer high strength and are suitable for heavy-haul railways.
- Rolled rail Iron Plate provide high precision and are often used with fish plates and gauge blocks.
- Cast baseplates are widely adopted due to their cost-effectiveness.
Whether single-shoulder, double-shoulder, or hook-type double-sleeper plates, GNEE RAIL can customize production according to AREMA, UIC, DIN, BS, or GB standards, or based on client drawings.
