The Pandrol e-Clip rail clip fastening is the preferred fastening system of rail operators across the globe thanks to its versatility and track record for high performance. The ballasted, non-threaded, self-tensioning railway e-Clip system has been installed in over 50 countries across hundreds of applications – covering virtually every possible known rail section.

e-Clip explained

The popularity of our original e-Clip rail fastening means it has attracted many imitators over the decades, but none with Pandrol’s track record for success. Known previously as simply the Pandrol clip, this mature fastening system is favoured for its versatility and is widely used across global rail projects that face a range of parameters and challenges.

e-Clips are manufactured worldwide to the very highest quality at our very own manufacturing facilities. Their spring steel construction is optimised for strength and durability, and suitable for installation on wood and concrete sleepers.

The Pandrol railway e-Clip consists of two elastic rail clips, two rail shoulders, one rail pad and two rail insulators, and is manufactured to one global standard for consistency. This spring-type clip ensures permanent elastic clamping complete with creep resistance and twisting resistance, making the fastening ideal for continuously welded tracks. Tension is achieved through insertion into a lug positioned parallel to the rail foot.
