Product Introduction of Switch Tie
TYPES OF TIMBER UNDER RAILS
Timber under rails covers different types of products, mainly sleepers.
Sleepers: For plain lines: a wooden beam that supports running rails, guard rails and conductor rails, perpendicular to its axis. Typically, the beam supports two running rails to form a track.
Bearers in switch and crossing layouts: a timber beam similar to a sleeper but usually longer, which is used to support the running rails, guard rails, conductor rails, crossings and the systems used to manoeuvre the railway switches and crossings. Often called switch tie, turnout tie, railway wooden sleeper for turnout.
Longitudinal timber for bridges and pit roads: This refers to timber placed underneath the railway rails and in line with the rails, to support them and to shift the loads to the infrastructure in the axis of the track.
