Railway fish plate, also known as rail joint, splicing strip, joint strip, fish plate. It is a metal connecting rod that connects the ends of two sections of rails with rail bolts. It is a key component to ensure the safety of railway transportation. Generally speaking, railway fishplates are made of steel, but plastics and composite materials are alternative raw materials for rail joints.

Railway fish plate is a flat metal plate mainly used to connect two adjacent rails. Drill some holes at the ends of the two rails to be connected, which are used to align with the holes on the railway fishplate and connect with the rail bolts. Rail fishplate can greatly reduce the impact of wheels on the intersection of rails, thereby improving the continuity and stability of the track section when the train passes.
Gnee has the capability to manufacture all types of rail fishplates to suit all types of rail sections such as UIC 60, UIC 54, U33, BS 80A, BS 90A, IRS 52 KG, IRS 90 Lbs, 115 RE, 136 RE, TJ 45, TJ 37, RN 45, etc. The rail fishplate size can be customized according to the drawings provided by customers.

Fishplate Model
The model of fishplate joint can be divided into 8 kg, 12 kg, 15 kg, 18 kg, 22 kg, 24 kg, 30 kg, 38 kg, 43 kg, 50 kg, 60 kg, 75 kg, etc. according to the weight of the rail.
These include:
Light rail includes 8 kg, 12 kg, 15 kg, 18 kg, 22 kg, 24 kg, 30 kg; light rail fish plate is also known as track splint;
Heavy rail includes 38 kg, 43 kg, 50 kg, 60 kg; heavy rail fish plate is also known as crane rail bevel joint splint;
Crane rail has QU70, QU80, QU100, QU120, etc.
Fishplates also have various international standards such as BS 47 and UIC series such as BS 80A, BS 75R, UIC 60, UIC 54, etc.
Assembly and maintenance of railway fishplates
In order to ensure the good use of railway accessories such as rail joints, fishplates must be regularly maintained to improve equipment quality and avoid accidents.
The assembly and maintenance standards of railway fishplates are as follows:
The fishplates are installed in place, without scars or cracks, and the fishbolts are well fixed.
No wounds or cracks were found on each connecting rod or external locking device. The rod body is not ground or rusted, the worn pin hole is less than 1mm, and the insulation is good.
All iron bars are well insulated and connected, and the external locking iron and the meter rod are well insulated. In the case of no insulation, a gap of 3mm should be maintained, and no other parts should be entered. The bolts are also fixed in place.
To ensure that there are no cracks on the switch housing, the fishplate is installed and firmly installed under good locking.
Ensure that the tank circuit is in a good protective state, without any damage or buried by ballast or other debris.

Product Classification
Typical railway fishplate types: Rail joints can be divided into many types according to different applications. Typical rail joint types include ordinary rail joints, insulated rail joints, non-standard rail joints and compromise rail joints. Gnee can produce more than 30 types of rail joint fishplates, suitable for light rails, heavy rails and crane rails.
Common railway fish plate
Common rail fish plate is made of Q235 steel, a universal material, and can be used for various types of rails. The appearance and weight of ordinary rail joints vary with the weight of the rails. Ordinary railway fish plates mainly have 4 holes and 6 holes.
Insulated rail joint
Insulated rail joint is a new type of rail material made of high-strength composite materials, and its size is the same as that of ordinary rail joints. Insulated rail joints are generally used in sections of railways close to power plants or leakage sections. Insulated rail joints can effectively prevent the occurrence of leakage accidents.
Non-standard railway fish plate
Non-standard rail joints are of various types in rail joints. Due to different railway sections and speeds, some rail joints are different from ordinary railway fish plates. There are generally three types of non-standard rail joints, namely unequal weight joints, unequal pitch joints and unequal shape joints.
Compromise railway fish plate
Compromise rail joints are different from non-standard rail joints. Commonly used jogged rail joints are railway drum fishplates and railway turnout expansion joints. Jogged rail joints are basically customized and are mainly used for turnout expansion joints or some railway section appearances with special designs and requirements. Compared with other types of rail joints, jogged rail joints are more difficult to process.
Joggled Fish Plate
This product is a specially forged fish plate. It is suitable for temporary repair of cracked welded rail joints with clamp assemblies to accommodate various rail segments. As an emergency clamping device, the jogged fish plate enables quick temporary repairs, allowing continuous movement across the entire section at a lower line speed.
