The steel rail, also know as rail track, railroad rail, is used to guide the train wheels far forwarding, by withstanding the enormous stress by the wheel when a train passes by, and transferring to the tie sleepers as well. The rail shall provide smooth and continuous rolling surface with least resistance.
Under normal circumstances, railway tracks cannot be laid directly on the ground. The ground typically consists of soil, rocks, grass, and other materials that lack sufficient firmness and hardness to withstand the weight and impact of railway tracks and trains. Directly laying tracks on such surfaces would cause subsidence, deformation, and potential derailments.
Railway tracks are typically composed of rails, sleepers, and fastening components connecting the sleepers. Sleepers serve as critical supporting elements for the rails.
Sleepers function as foundational supports:
Heavy trains operating on railway tracks require stable underpinning. Without robust support, track instability and deformation would occur. Sleepers provide steadfast reinforcement to the track structure, ensuring safe and stable train operation.
GNEE RAIL 's railroad track fully covers the rail section and specifications. Light Rail is mainly used for light transport or temporary hauling tracks in forested areas, mines, and construction areas. Heavy Rail: for main lines and mining tracks where a heavy load is required. Crane Rail: for laying tracks for cranes, such as railroad cranes, overhead cranes, gantry cranes, and other types of cranes.
GNEE RAIL supplies a full range of railway fastenings including rail joints, rail clips, rail clamps, rail pads, gauge rods, railway spikes, track bolts, rail insulators, height adjustment pads, and railroad ties made from various materials. Our OTM supports OEM and conforms to specific international standards.
