Rail Screw - Plate Screw
We are engaged in manufacturing and supplying a wide range of rail screws, plate screws and screw spikes. Designed with high precision and processed under advanced technologies these screws are manufactured using high graded raw materials satisfying all the quality standards. With reliability, robustness and effective performance these products can ideally be used in railway engineering.
A screw spike, rail screw (or Lag bolt) is a large (~6" length, slightly under 1" diameter) metal screw used to fix a tie plate or fasten rail. Screw spikes are fixed into a hole bored in the sleeper. The screw spike has a higher cost to manufacture that the dog spike (or dog nail) but has the advantage of greater fixing power; approximately twice that of a dog spike, and can be used in combination with spring washers.
