Railway Tie Plate

According to the different production processes and applicable tracks, rail tie plate can be divided into the following types:

Single shoulder tie plate

For single-shoulder tie plates, the shoulder is designed at the field end of the plate. The short end or gauge end of the steel plate is placed on the inner side of the rail, which is why customers always need the rail base width. Single shoulder tie plates are usually used for rails weighing from 56 pounds to 100 pounds.

Double shoulder base plates

Double shoulder base plates can be provided in 2-hole, 4-hole, 5-hole, 6-hole, 8-hole and other types according to customer requirements. Double shoulder plates are usually used for rails weighing more than 100 pounds.

Cast rail tie plates

Casting is a common technology for producing rail tie plates and is also a cost-saving method.

• Product name: Casting rail tie plate
• Model: UIC54, UIC60, 50kg rail, 60kg rail, S49 and size can be customized according to customer requirements
• Material: QT 500 -7 or QT 450 -10 (forged low carbon steel or high carbon steel, rolled low carbon steel S275 JR, Q235, etc.)
• Standard reference: UIC 864 -6

Base plate for KPO fastening system

Rail tie plate is a key component of KPO fastening system. It is fixed to the rail by rail bolts and spikes, supporting the rail and fixing the entire fastening system.

• Material: QT400-15, QT450-10, QT500-7, QT600-3, QT700-2, ZG25, ZG35, ZG45
• Model: Customized according to drawings
• Surface: Ordinary oiled, oxygen black
• Production type: Sand casting, hot forging

Hook twin tie plate

HTTP, full name double hook tie plate, is widely used in turnouts after the bottom of the turnout. In order to ensure the spacing of the tie, HTTP often uses single ties in pairs. 

Different available varieties:

• For 3/4” hook twin tie plate: L23, L27, L31, LR 23, LR 27, LR 31, H23, H27, H31.
• For 1” hook twin tie plate: L29, L33, L37, LR 28, LR 32, LR 36, H29, H33, H37, H41.
• In the market, 3/4” and 1” thick varieties are the most popular in North America. With modern production lines, our workshop is a modern and special one, we have the ability to produce such products for 1000 MTS per year.

Other types of rail base plates

Our company can produce according to the various specifications, various specifications of rail pads, sleeper plates and processing technology provided by customers according to customer requirements.

R&D advantages:
In China, Gnee Rail is the first company to try to apply rolling processing to rail tie plate production, based on our existing expertise in rolled steel for rail fishplates and gauge blocks. So far, we have successfully produced various types of rail tie plate dies, such as 11-inch, 14-inch and 14-3/4-inch, 5-1/2 and 6-inch rail pads

Products are tested:
Gnee conducts wear, mechanical and compression tests on every batch of rail tie plates shipped out of the factory. Only qualified products will be packaged and sold;

Quality advantages:

• High strength and durability: In order to adapt to the long operation time, high traffic density and poor maintenance conditions of rail transit, Gnee produces iron tie plates with sufficient strength and durability to ensure driving safety.
• Good insulation performance: The fasteners produced by Gnee have good insulation performance to prevent current from leaking through the fasteners and causing electrical corrosion of structural steel bars and municipal pipelines.
• Excellent vibration reduction and noise reduction performance: Fasteners and iron tie plates use elastic elements to buffer the vibration impact between wheels and rails, reduce noise transmission, and improve passenger comfort.
• Easy to adjust and maintain: The Gnee railway fastener system has gauge and horizontal adjustment performance, which is convenient for solving problems such as curved rail wear and uneven structural settlement. At the same time, our fastener structure design is simple, with few parts, which is easy to construct and maintain.
