Equipment & Materials Guide Rails Company—Grade-crossing rail anchors protect rails at grade crossings, industrial sidings and other areas requiring moderate longitudinal rail restraint. They minimize spike pull, tie wear and unstable subgrade, which can result from vertical motion caused by train and highway traffic. A Rails Compression Rail Anchor acts as a spring, absorbing the vertical movement of the rails; two torque timber screws provide secure holddown. The fasteners fit all rail sizes and install quickly with no pre-drilling required. Phone: 973-763-4320. vent fans, foundations, lighting, electrical outlets, racks, insulation.
