Hot dip galvanized 1x6-5/16” BS Screw Spike
Oct 20, 2025
In general, railway screw spikes are used for fastening sole plates and ribbed tie plates to wooden railway sleepers. As to concrete railway sleepers, the railway screw spikes are used in combination with plastic dowel pressed in the concrete sleepers, indirect or direct fastenings of rails on concrete and wooden sleepers. The railway screw spikes may only be produced in a hot forming operation. The different shapes of the head correspond to the pass form of the respective spanner used for fastening and loosening of the railway screw spikes.
Manufacturing railway screw spikes cost more than railway dog spikes, but railway screw spikes have many advantages, such as greater fixing power, approximately twice than that of dog spike and can be used in combination with spring washers.
A BS screw spike is a railway fastening component used to secure a rail to a sleeper, with "BS" likely referring to a British Standard, although the term is often used generically for various types of railway screw spikes. These screws have a threaded rod that provides a strong, high-holding power and can be used with both wooden and concrete sleepers, often in conjunction with a plastic dowel for concrete ties.
The primary advantage of hot dip galvanized screw spikes lies in their unmatched corrosion resistance. The zinc coating provides both barrier protection and sacrificial cathodic protection, meaning the zinc will corrode preferentially to the underlying steel. This dual-protection system ensures continued performance even if the coating becomes scratched or damaged during installation or service. The galvanized surface also provides excellent UV resistance and can withstand temperature extremes from -40°C to 200°C without degradation.
