Rail pads are inserted between the rail and the baseplate or sleeper. Introduced into rail fastening systems due to their resilience or viscoelasticity, rail pads serve to mitigate fatigue cracking in sleepers. They attenuate dynamic stresses generated by wheels or rails during both regular and irregular movements. Additionally, they contribute to reduced track maintenance and associated costs. Furthermore, GNEE RAIL supplies other railway fasteners such as rail joints, elastic clips, gauge rods, rail anchors, fish plates, high-strength bolts and nuts, and more.
Based on surface characteristics, rail pads can be categorized into studded rail pads and grooved railway pads. GNEE RAIL provides various types of high-quality elastic rail pads for high-speed railways, conventional railways, and crane applications. Particularly, rail pads made of rubber, EVA, TPEE, and HDPE are available. Our rubber railway pads are suitable for rails including UIC54, UIC60, BS80lbs, BS100lbs, and others.
