Rail Inserts

Nylon Rail Inserts

Our Nylon Rail Inserts provide a unique solution for rail maintenance and track engineers. The design and fabrication of the inserts reduces spalling and surface cracking. Applications include:

  • Direct fixation rail pads
  • Third rail brackets (electrical isolation anchor)
  • Restraining rail brackets
  • Anchor guard-rail
  • Concrete tie inserts for turnouts

Metallic Rail Inserts

INSULGUARD metallic inserts are a very robust anchoring method that can be used in precast concrete ties and cast in place slabs. Steel inserts are manufactured from solid bar which meets very high tensile requirements for direct fixation applications. Ductile iron inserts are a strong yet economical method to anchor direct fixation plates and stainless steel inserts are a corrosion proof method to anchor third rail posts and brackets.
