The proper installation of dog spikes is essential to ensure the safety and longevity of the railway track. The installation procedure can vary depending on the type of dog spike being used and the rail section. Here is a general step-by-step installation procedure for dog spikes:
Remove the old dog spikes: Before installing new dog spikes, it is necessary to remove any old spikes that may still be in place.
Clean the hole: Clean the hole in the rail to ensure that it is free from any debris or dirt.
Insert the Cut Spikes: Insert the dog spike into the hole in the rail, making sure that it is secure and that the head of the spike is flush with the rail.
Hammer the Common spike: Hammer the dog spike into place using a spike maul or hammer. The spike should be driven in firmly, but not so hard that it causes damage to the rail.
Repeat the process: Repeat the process for the remaining dog spikes, making sure that they are evenly spaced and correctly positioned.
Recommended installation tools for dog spikes include a spike maul or hammer, a claw bar or pry bar, and a wrench. These tools can help make the installation process more efficient and effective.
