Rail joints are used to connect two rails together to ensure safe and smooth train operation. Rail joints are usually made of four-hole or six-hole flat steel. According to experience, high-quality railway fishplates can effectively reduce the impact of wheels on rail joint sections and increase the stability and continuity of trains passing through joint sections. As an important part of track components, railway fishplates are widely used in both light rail and heavy rail to ensure the safety of railway transportation.
Rail fish plates, also called rail joint bar, are used to connect two steel rails together to ensure safe and stable train operation.
UIC (International Union of Railways) standard rail joints are very popular in the railway market, especially UIC 54 rail fish plates.
