ZongXiang recently completed the export of a batch of sole plates intended for JETTY’s rail infrastructure, marking another step in the company’s expanding role in international rail component supply. Sole plates, sometimes referred to as base plates, are critical elements in rail track systems. They provide the interface between the rail and the sleeper, distributing loads, maintaining gauge stability, and ensuring long-term track durability. The successful production and shipment of this batch reflects both ZongXiang’s manufacturing capability and its adherence to strict technical specifications required by modern rail and jetty operations.

The order required precise engineering because rail systems used in jetty environments often face harsher conditions than standard inland tracks. Exposure to salt air, moisture, heavy cargo movement, and fluctuating loads demands materials with strong corrosion resistance and high mechanical strength. ZongXiang addressed these requirements by selecting suitable steel grades, applying controlled casting and machining processes, and performing surface treatments designed to extend service life. Each sole plate underwent dimensional inspection to ensure accurate rail seat alignment, hole positioning, and flatness tolerances, all of which are essential for safe rail fastening.

Quality assurance played a central role throughout the production cycle. The company implemented multi-stage inspections, including raw material verification, in-process checks, and final testing. Non-destructive testing methods were used to detect potential internal defects, while coating thickness measurements ensured protective layers met contract standards. Documentation packages were prepared to accompany the shipment, including material certificates, inspection reports, and packing lists. This level of traceability supports the client’s installation process and future maintenance planning.

Logistics coordination was equally important for the export. Because sole plates are heavy and produced in large quantities, efficient packing and transportation planning were necessary to minimize damage and optimize freight costs. ZongXiang used reinforced pallets, protective wrapping, and clear labeling to facilitate handling at ports and on site. The shipment schedule was aligned with JETTY’s construction timeline to avoid delays in track installation, demonstrating close communication between supplier and client.

From a strategic perspective, this export highlights the growing demand for reliable rail components in port and jetty developments worldwide. As cargo volumes increase and intermodal transport becomes more important, robust rail infrastructure within port facilities is essential. Suppliers capable of delivering consistent quality, competitive pricing, and dependable lead times gain a significant advantage. ZongXiang’s ability to complete this batch on schedule strengthens its reputation as a dependable partner for specialized rail hardware.

Looking ahead, the company plans to continue improving production efficiency and expanding its product range for rail fastening systems. Investments in automation, advanced coating technologies, and stricter quality control procedures are expected to enhance performance and durability further. The successful delivery of sole plates for JETTY’s rail project therefore represents not only a completed order but also a foundation for future collaboration, supporting infrastructure projects that require durable and high-precision rail components in demanding environments.
