Product Details

Rail tie Lateral Resistance Plates are fitted to improve track stability and are suitable for both LRT and heavy rail applications.
Particularly useful for tight radius curves, areas where ballast shoulders are lacking or in areas of numerous switches.
The increase in lateral stability provided can overcome track buckling issues, maintain key gauge clearance in stations and around structures whilst reducing the frequency of tamping required.
Recommended to be installed on every or every other tie dependent on the level of track stability improvement required and the local site conditions
