Steel Rail Shoulders Weld on Shoulder for Railway Railroad Building

Cast-in Rail Shoulders: These are prefabricated pieces in concrete sleepers, either single or double, used to secure elastic rails within a fastening system, mainly electronic fastenings. Cast iron shoulders are pre-embedded in concrete sleepers and used together with elastic clips to fix the rails.

Weld-on Shoulders: Designed for use in special trackwork locations that do not permit the use of standard tie plates. Switches, scales, steel structures, and maintenance facilities are common applications. Generally used on flat steel plates, these shoulders are beveled to facilitate welding, providing optimum lateral resistance and maximum clip-toe load.
