GNEE RAIL manufactures different types of rail anchors from special T shaped spring steel, after the forging and heat treatment it has advantage of uniform strength and lasting service. The anchors are used where the fastenings system requires an extra creep resisting arrangement. There are various shapes of the anchor which is made of rolled bars of various sections. When wheel runs on the rail, the railway anchor grips the rail firmly and when set against sleepers, resists longitudinal movement of the rails caused by passing trains.

 

Advantages of GNEE RAIL rail anchors

 

  • ISO9001-certified rail anchors provide uniform style and high quality for optimal rail fit, with increased longitudinal keeping power.
  • Available in both drive-on and spring designs.
  • Available for solutions for various rail kinds and situations.
  • Customers can use it quickly, easily, and safely.
