Fishplates (joint bars) for heavy-haul lines must survive high axle loads, impact at joints and, often, low-temperature service.
- Confirm rail section (115RE, UIC60, 60kg, etc.) and whether you need compromise joints.
- Specify steel grade and heat treatment; request MTCs for every batch.
- Define bolt-hole diameter, pitch and edge distance to your drawing — not a generic catalogue sketch.
- For cold climates, ask for impact energy requirements and surface protection.
RAILINK supplies fishplates from its own fastening base and audited partners, with dimensional inspection and packing suited to export.
