Dog spikes are essential fasteners in railway track systems, primarily used to secure rails to sleepers. Working in conjunction with elastic clips, bolts & nuts, gauge blocks, and other components, they ensure track stability. Also known as railroad spikes or track spikes, these fasteners are widely favored in railway engineering due to their durability, high strength, and ease of installation.
Dog spikes are mainly categorized into two types:
- Cut spikes are formed by cutting steel rods, offering quick installation and low cost but may loosen under vibration.
- Forged spikes undergo high-temperature forging, delivering superior strength and compatibility with wooden sleepers, concrete sleepers, and other types, making them ideal for high-traffic routes.
GNEE RAIL supplies various types of dog spikes, including SS Series Sleeper Screws, Square Head Screw Spikes, and similar screw spikes. If you have special customization requirements, feel free to contact us.
Common materials for GNEE-manufactured spikes include carbon steel, cast iron, and stainless steel:
- Carbon steel spikes offer a cost-effective solution.
- Cast iron spikes provide exceptional strength.
- Stainless steel spikes excel in corrosion resistance, performing reliably in humid environments.
