What is the weight of fish plate T 5916 in kg?

Feb 04, 2026 Leave a message

A rail fish plate is a mechanical rail-joining component designed to restore stiffness and alignment at rail joints so that wheel loads are transferred smoothly across adjacent rail lengths. Without it, rail ends would behave independently. GNEE RAIL manufactures fish plates compatible with GB light and heavy rails, UIC standard rails, DIN536 and QU crane rail systems, JIS rail profiles, AS1085 sections, BS11 rails, and AREMA/ASCE standards, providing dimensional matching and bolt coordination services.

What are the advantages of using a joggled fishplate?

 

Joggled fishplates offer superior, secure, and rapid repairs for fractured or broken welded rail joints, significantly enhancing safety and track stability. Their unique forged, bent design (joggle) fits securely around welding collars, providing durable support, minimizing traffic disruptions, and enabling faster, cost-effective maintenance compared to traditional methods.

 

Key Advantages of Joggled Fishplates:

 

  • Emergency Repair Solution: They are specifically used for immediate, temporary, or permanent repairs of broken welded rails or damaged rail sections, allowing train services to continue at reduced speeds.

 

  • Enhanced Stability & Safety: The specialized design ensures a secure, strong connection between rails, which improves vertical and lateral load distribution, preventing further misalignment or derailment.

  • Accommodates Weld Collars: They are designed to fit over weld collars at newly welded joints, protecting the joint until it can be properly tested or repaired.

 

  • Durability & Strength: Due to their forged and machined construction, they provide long-lasting performance and higher resistance to wear and tear.

  • Ease of Installation: These plates allow for quick installation and easy maintenance, saving significant labor and time.

 

  • Cost-Effectiveness: Their longevity and ability to prevent more severe track damage lead to reduced overall maintenance and replacement costs.

 

  • Versatility: They are suitable for various rail sections, such as 52 kg and 60 kg.
