Rail Tie Pads – These pads are used between the rail and the tie(concrete or wood) to protect the tie from wear and impact.

  • Sizes: ​1/16″, 1/8″, 1/4″, 3/8″, 1/2″
  • Custom thickness available

Some of the main benefits of our pads are:

  • Pads can be created for any custom design. Tailor made to meet project requirements.
  • Excellent electrical resistance – stray current in freight or transit is a common occurrence and can effect the lifespan of a tie
  • Superior non-weathering capabilities – we use superior materials to manufacture our pads which allows them to withstand many weather conditions
  • Excellent abrasion resistance – prevents metal and concrete tie materials from rubbing together creating an abrasive and destructive problem
  • Excellent compression set – We meet and/or exceed all compression sets based off of standards or customer requirements
