Steel Channel Sleeper

Steel channel sleepers are designed for use in the railway tracks running over bridges where a resilient ballast bed cannot be used.
Steel channel sleepers are fabricated from steel channel sections, wherein two channels are welded together to obtain the required strength. Both running and guard rails are accommodated on the channel sleeper. The running rails are fixed to the canted bearing plate using clip and bolt rail fastening system. However the guard rails are bolted directly on the sleepers. Rubber pads are also provided under each rail and sleeper to absorb the shocks and dampen the vibrations. Steel channel sleeper with all steel fittings are hot dip galvanized to enhance the service life of the product.
