Railway fish plates come in several styles
Category by application scenario
Heavy-duty fishtail plate: mainly used in high-speed railways, large logistics parks and other heavy-duty railway scenes. These fishplates have a high load capacity and stability to ensure that the track connections remain stable when heavy trains pass through.
Medium fish tail plate: suitable for short and medium freight and passenger lines. These fishplates strike a balance between carrying capacity and cost, meeting the needs of general railway lines.
Lightweight fishtail plate: mainly used in urban rail transit and other scenarios. The smaller size of these fishplates allows for easy installation and maintenance in confined Spaces such as urban tracks.
Classification by material
Ductile iron fishtail plate: with high strength and toughness, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, suitable for heavy-haul railway and urban rail transit and other scenes.
Q235 rolled fishtail plate: made of Q235 steel, it has high strength and durability, and is widely used in railway track connection.
Forged fishtail plate: made by forging process, with higher strength and toughness, but the cost is relatively high, suitable for scenes with high performance requirements.
