Your questions - Our answers

What is the advantage of a forged rib plate for wheel guards?

The main advantage of a forged rib plate for wheel guards lies in its additional durability and reliability. Unlike cast or welded variants, forged axle stand plates do not have any structural weaknesses such as casting cavities or weld seams. This uniform material composition provides increased strength and resistance to mechanical loads. The forging manufacturing process also makes more efficient material usage possible. This combination of robustness and efficient material consumption makes forged guard rail plates a preferred choice for demanding railway infrastructures.
