Rail shoulders overview

Railway rail shoulders, also known as rail iron shoulders, rail fastening inserts, railroad shoulder inserts, or railway cast-in anchors, are positioned on concrete rail ties in railways to provide support and secure elastic rail clips. These components play a crucial role in maintaining the correct position of the rails, absorbing shocks from moving trains, stabilizing the tracks, and reducing noise for a smoother ride. The material used is carbon steel, and GNEE manufactured rail shoulders conform to various standards such as UIC, AREMA, GB, DIN, JIS, or BS, and others.

Weld-on rail shoulders

GNEE’s weld-on rail shoulder is designed for the typical rail position, where it is welded onto a flat steel plate instead of the standard rail tie plate.
