Railway spikes, also known as track spikes, are large nails with offset heads designed to securely fasten rails and baseplates to sleepers. They constitute a critical small component within railway fastening systems. In the track materials market, spikes vary in type based on structure and installation methods.
GNEE RAILWAY RAILWAYL supplies multiple types of dog spikes and screw spikes, offering customized products per client requirements. Our manufacturing employs two primary methods: manual production and machine-based processes involving forging, heat treatment, threading, and other procedures using materials including Carbon Steel, Cast Iron, and Stainless Steel.

Correct installation is paramount for screw spike performance. Key precautions include:
Pre-drilling diameter matching: Select drill bits corresponding to spike diameter to prevent compromised fixation from oversized or undersized holes.
Torque control: Apply calibrated torque wrenches according to specified values to avoid thread damage or insecure connections from over/under-tightening.
Periodic inspection: Conduct regular checks for loosening or corrosion during long-term service, performing replacements or anti-corrosion recoating when necessary.
