It is specifically designed to securely fasten fish plates (joint bars) to the ends of steel rails, ensuring stable and continuous rail connections. Manufactured by Wuxi Lanling Railway Equipment Co., Ltd., our Fish Bolts are engineered for high strength, corrosion resistance, and long-term performance under heavy loads and harsh outdoor conditions...

Questions About Fish Bolt Installation
What Should Be Paid Attention To When Installing Fish Bolts And Fish Plates?
The contact part of the fish plate with the rail and the bolts should be oiled.
When inserting fish bolts, the nuts must be staggered inside and outside.
The procedure for bolting, if using a four-hole fish plate, first tighten the two in the middle, then the two on the sides, and after tightening the two sides, tighten the two in the middle again.
When tightening the fish bolts, one person should use a 55 cm screw wrench. Do not use a screw wrench that is too long or two people to tighten.
When the fish bolts cannot be put on, use a hammer to hit the two ends of the fish plate to align the eyes. Do not use a hammer to force the fish bolts in.
