Rail Industry Component:
Rails Co.: Compression Rail Anchors

Rails Co.


FEWER ANCHORS PER MILE One compression Rail Anchor holds in both directions so fewer anchors are required per mile. In addition, you benefit from the speed and cost efficiency of machine installation. HOLDS RAIL TO OUTSIDE SHOULDER Compression Rail Anchors hold the rail to the outside shoulder of the tie plate. They resist rail movement on main line track, branch lines, turnouts, bridges, switches and crossings. REDUCE ANCHOR INVENTORY The standard Compression Rail Anchor fits all the rail sections. This not only simplifies rail anchor inventory; it reduces storage space and inventory investment. EFFECTIVE ANCHORING Compression Rail Anchors reduce buckling stresses and provide definitive protection against ?pull-aparts? in welded rail. Uniform holding maintains gaps at the end of the rail. Rails are effectively anchored, both ways, from the movement of application.
