| Designed for use with concrete sleepers, Safelok fasteners extend track lifeby providing a positive and lasting rail alignment under the most severe operating conditions.
The system consists of a shoulder, a clip, a pad and an insulator. The cast-in shoulder has high pull-out resistance and reduces concrete stress by its wide, double leg design. |
The latest development to the system, Safelok III, enables pre-assembly of the fastening components on the sleeper at the sleeper plant. In the pre-assembled position, the pad, side post insulator, clip and toe insulatorare all captive. This allows secure transportation to site without component loss,and either manual or automated mechanical track installation. Track de-stressing,rail change and assembly maintenance can be conduction on the fastening system with the clip backed off the rail foot but held captive within the cast shoulder. |
