Do you know how to join two rails together? This is where the fishplate comes in. Fishplate, also known as splint, fishtail clip or rail connecting plate, is an important part of the railway track system. It is mainly used to connect the end of the two rails to ensure the continuity and stability of the train. The design and application of fishplate is an important milestone in the history of railway engineering technology, and its functionality and safety play an irreplaceable role in the development of railway transportation industry. The use of fishplate can be traced back to the early 19th century, with the advancement of the Industrial Revolution, rail transport gradually became an important mode of transportation. In the early railway construction, the connection of the rail is mostly fixed by rivets directly, which is not only complicated in construction, but also easy to loosen during use, resulting in increased safety risks. With the advancement of technology, the fishplate has gradually become the mainstream rail connection method because of its easy installation, easy maintenance and good fastening performance, and has been widely used in the world. The fishplate is usually flat, wide at both ends, and narrow in the middle, resembling a fish tail, hence the name. Its material is mainly high-strength steel to ensure sufficient strength and toughness to withstand the huge impact generated by the train. Modern fishplate design will also consider the corrosion resistance of the material, in order to extend the service life. In addition, in order to adapt to the needs of different environments, the fishplate is also available in a variety of sizes and models. The main function of the fishplate is to connect the two sections of rail tightly together, ensuring that the train can smoothly pass through the joint. On the one hand, it plays the role of fixing the rail, preventing the deformation of the rail caused by thermal expansion and cold contraction; On the other hand, it also takes the pressure generated by the passing of the train and protects the rail from damage. In addition, in some cases, the fishplate can also be fitted with accessories such as bolts and washers to further enhance the stability of the joint.

A railway company based in Kazakhstan is undertaking a railway renovation project. The company needed to buy a batch of fishplate used for 22kg rail to replace the old rail infrastructure. The person in charge of this project found our company's website by searching for fishboard suppliers on the Internet, and left a message asking for information about fishboard through the online customer service function after browsing. After receiving the customer's message, our customer service immediately got in touch with the customer. After a preliminary exchange, we learned that the customer needs to buy a batch of fishplate used for 22kg rail, requiring that the fishboards need to be able to withstand frequent train passing without damage, so as to reduce the frequency of maintenance. Then our sales team communicated with the customer in detail by email. At first, the customer was hesitant because he had never bought Chinese products before. Our sales staff immediately showed the customer the previous customer cases and our product assurance services. After many emails, the customer finally decided to buy our fishboard.

We not only provide high quality products, but also provide customized services for them to ensure that they can fully meet the needs of customers. After confirming the final order, we quickly started the production and packaging process. In order to ensure timely delivery, we adopted an efficient logistics solution to ensure that the fish plates could arrive in Kazakhstan on time. After several months of efforts, our products have been successfully applied to several important railway lines in Kazakhstan. Practice has proved that this batch of fishtail plates fully meet the requirements of customers. They show excellent stability and durability in extreme weather conditions, and, thanks to the ease of installation, greatly shorten the construction period and help the customer complete the retrofit task ahead of schedule.
