Oct 16, 2025

The screw spike, also called rail screw, it can be used to fasten the ribbed base plates and sole plates to wood sleepers. It can be used to fasten the SKL Clip to rails and will obtain high clamping force. It has better fixing power than rail spike or dog spike, which lead to it's widely using in many fastening system.

The specifications 1x5-1/8", 1x6", and 1x7" precisely define the shank diameter and overall length of the Screw Spikes, meeting the requirements of various sleeper thicknesses and load levels. These sizes have been engineering-verified to provide optimal anchoring depth and pull-out resistance for diverse track structures.

High Strength Screw Spikes are typically made from high-quality medium carbon steel or alloy steel and undergo strict heat treatment processes, providing high tensile strength and fatigue resistance. This ensures compliance with international standards such as AREMA for heavy-duty railway fasteners.

 

Raw material Q235, 35 steel, 45steel, 40Mn2, 20 Mn Si etc.

 

A distinctive feature of these products is the specialized wax coating applied on the surface. This protective wax layer not only offers excellent corrosion resistance during storage and transportation but also reduces the torque required during installation. The self-lubricating property facilitates smoother screwing, ensures optimal thread engagement, and prevents thread galling.
