A tie plate, also known as base plate or sole plate, which is a steel plate that used between the steel rail and railway sleeper. Tie plate basically has some holes and shoulder(s). But there is no shoulder in some types of tie plate. Rail tie plate usually has tapered side to improve the stability and reduce the twisting and torsion of rails. There are close relationship between rail and tie plate. Each tie plate is generally made for corresponding size of rail. In another words, the tie plate has to be matched with width of steel rail. As for the production process, tie plate can be made by three processing ways: hot-rolled, casted and forged.
As one of the railroad components, tie plate is used to fix rail to railroad tie and keep the rail safe. To be specific, the functions of railroad tie plate as follow:
Tie plates transmit the load from steel rail to the railroad ties. They provide even support surface for rail and prevent rail from movement.
Tie plate helps the rail maintain their gauge, which keep the safety of train running.
Tie plate reduce the friction between rail and railroad tie.
Tie plate protect railroad ties from excessive wear, so that prolong their service life.
Tie plate provide proper cant and bear the central load.
Sole plates are used to support the rails in cases where the concrete is not strong enough to support the crane rails. Depending on the type of load and rail, sole plates can be made in series or individually. In either case, they are held in place with anchor bolts.
Types of Railway Sole Plates
1. Single Sole Plates
This is an economical solution for light-duty applications where the rails need to be mounted on a separate concrete base. They can be secured with two or four fixing bolts and come with clips, all bolts and grout
Length: Standard 5980mm.
Width: Varies between 150 and 500 mm.
Thickness: Varies between 12 and 50 mm.
Material: S235JR, S275JR, S355J0.

2. Continuous Sole Plates
Heavier crane rails or heavy duty applications require the strength of the continuous support when the rail is supported on a concrete structure. Continuous sole plates are available with bolt-on or welded clips. However, it is often economical to do more work in the field and use a welded base clip. The design, layout, manufacture and installation of continuous sole plates are not straightforward and require careful planning and execution.
