Railway Forgings

The forged fishplate provides the strongest achievable joint between sections of rail – the key features being the improved grain flow and the facility to incorporate a strengthening profile. Our design skills and extensive experience of fishplate manufacture, supported by facilities such as our archive of rail section samples, gives us the confidence to claim that we can offer a comprehensive fishplate range.

In the case of light rail applications or small quantities of extreme combinations of rail profile offsets not warranting the manufacture of forging dies, Henry Williams will manufacture from bar, profiled section or plate complementing our forged product range.

Henry Williams also manufacture a range of ECJ fishplates to provide emergency repairs on broken welded rail or fractured section enabling a quick temporary repair allowing continued movements through affected section at reduced line speed.

The benefit of the Henry Williams ECJ fishplate is that no drilling or machining is required, the plates are simply held in position using G clamps and tightened with a standard fishplate spanner.

Our permanent product range is manufactured and supplied from our factory in Darlington in the North East of England and includes: track gauges, universal switch clamps and fastenings.
