Emergency Rail Clamps

Emergency Rail Clamps for Sale

AGICO supplies 2 types of emergency rail clamps for customers: G-type and C-type rail clamp. G-type rail clamp is used for rail connection in railway thermit welding; C-shaped rail clamp is used for emergency rail track damage maintenance.

Emergency Rail Clamps Introduction

The emergency rail clamp is widely used in the railway engineering department as a temporary rescue tool and reinforcement of rail welding points or injured sections. In the emergency situation of rail breakage, the corresponding type of rail clamp can be directly installed on the rail for the train to pass normally.

Advantages of Emergency Rail Clamps

Emergency rail clamps supplied by AGICO are a boltless solution for railway maintenance, it has 4 models to fit 42kg/m – 75kg/m rails. Their application has reduced the cost and installation time of the entire life cycle of the railway, helping reduce track stress through wider contact points to improve the safety of railway line. Besides emergency rail clamps, AGICO also supplies fishplates and bolts available for emergency rail clamp installation, and other rail maintenance equipment such as rail grinder, rail cutting machine, hydraulic rail benders, rail welding machine, thermit welding kits, etc.

G-type Rail Clamp

The G-type rail clamp is used for temporary rail connection before welding and prevents defects affecting the railway before repairs. It is used as a common temporary fastening part in the railway maintenance department. 
How does a G-type rail clamp work?
When a rail track fracture is found, workers can use a pair or more rail clamps to install the right fishplate on both sides of the rail, so that the train can pass the damaged rail safely. As it doesn’t require the fish bolt and drilling, it is also known as a boltless rail clamp.

Technical Features:

• It increases the clamping force to limit rail track creep caused by temperature changes.
• The train can have a higher line speed due to improved vertical deflection of the rail joint.
• The self-supporting profile structure make it easy to install.
• The horizontal clamping eliminates the bending of the clamping bolt.

C-type Rail Clamp

The emergency rail clamp is a C-shaped forged steel part made of alloy steel. It is usually used in pairs mainly before the rail track thermit welding. Besides the G-type rail clamp, it is also a common rail joint clamp for temporary railway track reinforcement.

How the Emergency Rail Clamp Works in Railtrack Maintenance

• Reinforce the welding strips that are judged to be damaged in various ways on the line.
• Carry out emergency reinforcement treatment when the rail or welding strip breaks.
• The damage of thermite welding, air pressure welding and resistance welding can be firmly clamped. The damaged rail between sleepers or on sleepers can be clamped universally. Made of alloy steel, it is beautiful in shape, light in weight, easy to carry, impact-resistant and long in service life.
• A spare set is placed at the bottom of each kilometer mark and half-kilometer standard track, which is very timely and convenient to use.
• When the rail is broken, the operator does not need to carry the bulge splint and first aid equipment to the scene, which reduces the labor intensity of the operator and greatly shortens the treatment time for the broken rail.
• After the damaged rail reinforcement is installed, the normal operation of the train can be ensured. The rail Clamp is convenient and flexible to load and unload, and the clamping is firm and reliable, and it is easy to carry.
