China Railway Sleeper For Sale- Gnee Rail Fasteners

Product Description

Railway sleepers, also known as sleepers, rail sleepers or railroad ties, are important railway components in the railway industry. In addition to supporting the rails and fixing them in place, sleepers also need to transfer the huge pressure of the rails to the ballast bed, disperse the weight and impact force transmitted from the rails, and ensure the stability and flatness of the rails.

Main Functions Of Railway Sleepers:

Supporting rails: Track sleepers serve as support for rails, ensuring that the rails remain in a flat and stable position, allowing trains to travel safely and smoothly.
Dispersing loads and impact forces: Sleepers can effectively disperse the weight transmitted from rails and the impact force generated by trains, reduce damage to railway infrastructure, and extend the service life of rails.
Absorbing vibration and noise: Sleepers can absorb vibration and noise generated by train operation, reduce shaking and noise during train operation, and improve riding comfort.
Fixing Rails: Rail sleepers fix rails, prevent them from shifting or deforming, and ensure the stability and safety of railway lines.
Reduce Maintenance Costs: Good rail sleeper design can reduce the maintenance needs of railway infrastructure, reduce wear and tear on rails and other components, and reduce maintenance costs.

Common sleeper sizes:

Length: 2.6 meters or 8 feet 6 inches
Width: 250 mm or 10 in
Thickness: 125 mm or 150 mm (5 in or 6 in)

Product Classification

Gnee offers three different types of sleepers, including wooden sleepers, concrete sleepers and composite sleepers.

Wooden sleepers

Wood is the most widely used sleeper material in the world. Gnee wooden sleepers are made of high-quality hardwood and treated with preservatives to resist rot and corrosion. Our railway sleepers are available in a variety of sizes to meet the needs of various railway infrastructure.

Wooden sleepers available from Gnee

The types of wooden sleepers are treated wooden sleepers for ordinary tracks, treated wooden sleepers for turnouts, and treated wooden sleepers for bridges.

Ordinary track treated wooden sleepers are used for railway trunk lines. For GB standards, type I 16cm×22cm×250cm and type II 14.5cm×20cm×250cm are two typical sizes;
Treatment wooden sleepers for turnouts are suitable for turnout areas at the junction of railway lines;
Bridge wooden sleepers are used for laying railway lines on bridges.

Concrete sleepers

Concrete sleepers are becoming increasingly popular due to environmental protection and corrosion resistance. Its materials are composed of cement, sand, stone, etc., and have good thermal insulation properties. In addition, concrete sleepers will not change color due to temperature fluctuations.

Gnee produces different types of concrete sleepers that can better withstand the weight of the train and the impact generated during operation.

Gnee offers different types of concrete sleepers

Concrete sleepers are divided into reinforced concrete sleepers and prestressed reinforced concrete sleepers according to reinforcement.

Reinforced concrete sleepers:

It is divided into mono block concrete sleepers and twin block concrete sleepers.

Mono block sleepers
Single-block concrete sleepers are a type of concrete railway sleeper that runs horizontally and supports two rails.

Twin block sleepers
Double-block sleepers consist of two pieces of reinforced concrete to support the rails and contain a fastening system. Double-block sleepers refer to a sleeper under each rail, with a steel tie between the rails and a steel crossbar to maintain the correct gauge. They are usually made of dry low-workability concrete

twin block concrete sleeper

Prestressed concrete sleepers
Currently, prestressed concrete sleepers are the most common type of sleepers. Monoblock prestressed concrete sleepers are the main type of sleepers in ballasted tracks.

The total length of monoblock prestressed concrete sleepers is about 2750 mm and the weight is about 270 kg. The sleepers have a trapezoidal cross-section with a top width of 154 mm, a bottom width of 250 mm and a rail seat height of 210 mm.

Composite sleepers

Composite sleepers also known as synthetic sleepers. Made of composite panels produced by a foam extrusion process with continuous glass fibers as reinforcement (fiber-reinforced foam polyurethane) and polyurethane as matrix material, supplemented with additives. Compared with wooden sleepers and steel sleepers, composite sleepers have good shock absorption and low wear, making them an ideal choice for ballasted tracks.

Choosing The Right Railway Sleepers

Choosing the right railroad sleeper is essential for the safety and stability of the railway system. Here are some suggestions from Gnee for choosing the right sleeper:

Material selection: Concrete sleepers are usually used for high-speed and heavy-duty railways, while wooden sleepers are often used for light-duty or secondary railway lines.

Adaptability: Ensure that the selected rail sleepers meet railway standards and specifications according to local standards and specifications, and also select according to local climate, geological conditions and train operation conditions.

Quality and durability: Select rail sleepers with reliable quality and good durability to ensure that they can withstand the weight and impact of trains for a long time, reduce maintenance and replacement frequency, and reduce safety hazards.

Environmentally friendly: Consider choosing environmentally friendly rail sleeper materials to reduce the impact on the environment and comply with the principles of sustainable development.

Professional consultation: If necessary, you can consult a railway engineering expert or contact us directly for professional advice on choosing suitable track sleepers.
