Dog spikes and screw spikes are essential railway fasteners used to secure steel rails to sleepers or base plates. At GNEE RAIL, we provide high-quality rail spikes designed for various track types and applications.
The difference of dog spikes and screw spikes
Screw spikes offer more than twice the holding power of dog spikes, making them ideal for heavy-load areas like railway turnouts and crane rails. However, their production cost is higher, and installation can be more complex. Dog spikes are simpler and cost-effective, suitable for wooden and concrete sleepers in standard track sections.
