A rail fish plate is a structural joint component that ensures continuity of track geometry and load transmission at mechanical rail joints, protecting rail ends from premature fatigue. GNEE RAIL offers fish plates for UIC standards, GB 8–60 kg/m rails, JIS profiles, AS1085 sections, BS11 rails, AREMA/ASCE sizes, and crane rails under DIN536 and QU specifications, providing material selection support.

What is a 54E1 steel rail joint bar?
A 54E1 steel rail joint bar (also known as a UIC54 fishplate) is a hot-rolled steel component designed to connect the ends of two 54E1 (UIC54) rail profiles. Compliant with EN 13674-1 standards, it secures rail joints, maintains track alignment, and provides structural stability for medium-to-heavy load railways.
Key Features and Details:
- Purpose: Pairs of these bars are bolted to both sides of the rail web to join rails, ensuring continuity and stability in the railway track system.
| Product Name | UIC54 Rail Joint Bars / Fish Plate |
| Standard | UIC, BS47-1:1997 |
| Material | 55# Steel, Q235B |
| Rail Compatibility | UIC54 Rail (54kg/m) |
| Hole Count | 4 Holes, 6 Holes |
| Surface Finish | Natural, Painted, Anti-Rust Coating |
| Certification | ISO9001:2015, UIC Compliant |
| Production Capacity | 5000 Sets/Month |
- Design: The bars are tapered to wedge tightly between the rail head and base.
- Standard Compatibility: Specifically designed for 54E1 (formerly UIC54) rails, which weigh approximately 54.77 kg/m.
- Material: Manufactured from high-quality steel (often carbon steel) for high tensile strength, wear resistance, and durability.
- Variants: These can be standard hot-rolled steel, forged, or cast, and may include insulated options for signalized tracks.
Commonly used in European standard railway construction, 54E1 joints are critical for maintaining track alignment.
