Fish Plates Railway Manufacturer

Fish Plates Railway Manufacturer

Fish plates railway offer a practical and efficient alternative to welding, simplifying installation and reducing labor costs. Designed for quick and easy assembly with matching fish bolts.

Xingrail is a professional manufacture a comprehensive range of fish plates for light, heavy, and ultra-heavy rail applications. Each plate features a unique arched bridge design, engineered to minimize the impact from train wheels passing over the joint. This innovative structure enhances the longitudinal continuity of the rail, reduces wear, and ensures a smoother, safer ride. By improving train passage stability and absorbing shock, our fish plates extend the life of your track and guarantee superior performance and durability.

Fish Plate Joint Bar description

Types of Fish Plates

  1. Light Rail Fish Plates: Also known as rail joint bars, and Heavy Rail Fish Plates, also referred to as crane rail inclined joint bars. Insulated Fish Plates are entirely made of insulating materials. These new rail materials, crafted from high-strength composite materials, are corrosion-resistant, rust-proof, UV-resistant, non-conductive, and non-magnetic. As thermosetting materials, they cannot be reprocessed, making them theft-proof.
  2. Fish Plate Models: Fish plates are categorized based on rail specifications, including 8kg, 12kg, 15kg, 18kg, 22kg, 24kg, 30kg, 38kg, 43kg, 50kg, 60kg, and 75kg. Insulated light rail fish plates include models such as 8KG, 9KG, 12KG, 15KG, 18KG, 22KG, 24KG, and 30KG. Insulated heavy rail fish plates include models such as 38KG, 43KG, 50KG, 60KG, QU70, QU80, QU100, and QU120, also known as crane rail inclined joint bars.
  3. Ordinary Cast Iron Fish Plates: These are available in two types: four-hole and six-hole fish plates. Insulated fish plates for international standards include the BS47 and UIC series, such as BS80A, BS75R, UIC60, and UIC54. There are four specific types within these categories.
  4. Material Classification: Fish plates are classified by material, including ductile cast iron, Q235 rolled steel, and forged steel. The primary raw materials are medium-carbon steel and high-carbon steel. Our company mainly produces fish plate models such as 115RE, 132RE, UIC60, UIC54, BS80A, BS90A, BS100A, and 90/91LB. Additionally, we manufacture machined composite fish plates, as well as cast iron or cast steel fish plates.
