Elastic rail clip is one of the common railway fasteners in the railway system. In general, elastic rail clip is made of forged spring steel and has many applications. No matter as a part of rail fastening system or as a rail fastener, elastic rail clip is used with other railway track parts, such as railroad spike, rail pad, tie plate and plastic dowel.
The E 2055 rail clip is a type of fastening component used in the railway industry to secure rails to railroad ties or sleepers. Rail clips play a crucial role in maintaining the stability and integrity of the railway track system by preventing lateral movement of the rails.

What is the function of the E2055 rail elastic clip?
The E2055 rail elastic clip, a type of Pandrol E-clip, functions to securely fasten steel rails to railway sleepers (ties) by providing continuous, self-tensioning pressure, preventing unwanted longitudinal/lateral movement, absorbing vibrations, and ensuring overall track stability under heavy loads. Made from robust spring steel, it's a "fit-and-forget" component known for its durability, reliability, and low maintenance in diverse track applications.
Key Functions:
- Secures Rails: Clamps onto the rail's base, holding it firmly against the sleeper or baseplate.
- Maintains Stability: Prevents rails from shifting horizontally or vertically, crucial for continuously welded track.
- Absorbs Dynamic Forces: Its spring action withstands significant stress and vibration from passing trains.
- Low Maintenance: Offers long service life with minimal need for torque checks or manual adjustment.
- Adaptable: Used in heavy-haul, metro, high-speed, and conventional tracks.
How is the E2055 rail clip packaged and shipped?
E2055 rail clips are packaged in various ways for shipping, commonly using woven bags on pallets, wooden boxes/lattice boxes, or specialized plastic turnover boxes with internal hooks/slots for organization, often with protective measures like plastic film wrapping for stability and quick handling, with options customized to client needs.
Common Packaging Methods
- Woven Bags & Pallets: A popular, cost-effective method where clips are placed in strong woven bags, stacked on fumigated wooden pallets, and then plastic-wrapped for secure transport.
- Wooden Boxes/Lattice Boxes: For heavier loads or enhanced protection, clips are packed into sturdy wooden lattice or solid boxes.
- Specialized Plastic Boxes: Some suppliers use reusable hollow board or plastic boxes with adjustable internal hooks and card slots to securely hold clips and pads, preventing movement.
- Cartons: Smaller quantities might be packed in standard cartons.
