Adjustable Rail Clips

The adjustable ‘Hard Clip’ has been designed specifically to hold the rail down into position so that rail lift will not occur.

The hard clip must not be used when a resilient pad is introduced under rail or where the track running machine is constantly travelling at high speed, irrespective of wheel loads.

HoldFast clips are manufactured from ductile iron. Whilst the structure of ductile iron is similar to that of carbon steel, containing randomly dispersed spherical particles of graphite, it has the advantage of better castability than steel, giving a smooth clean profile and more strength for less expense.

Options are available for Galvanising and cadmium plating, in addition to other coatings to suit customer requirements if they are required.

hard clip

The adjustable soft clip has been designed specifically to allow the rail to lift a pre-determined amount to cater for rail wave.

Allowing the rail to lift in this way reduces stresses and strains in the rail and clips, and fatigue stresses in the holding down bolt/studs.

The Soft Clip is the ideal product when rails are welded in a thermic process, making long runs, or when rail is supported by a resilient pad.
