Our forged guard rail plates provide maximum stability and resistance to applied force. As an important component in the frog area, they provide secure wheel guidance when trains are travelling over the points.
CDP Railsystems develops reliable and long-lasting solutions for maximum rail traffic safety. Modern rail infrastructure places the highest demands on durability and stability. In order to meet these requirements, we manufacture our wheel control arms according to the latest technical standards using the drop forging process. This gives the component extraordinary resistance to the loads that occur during everyday railway operation. It is for this reason that the proven rib plates for wheel guards from CDP Railsystems are the optimum choice for safe railway infrastructure.
We have a wide range of standard components that are compatible with all common sleeper and rail systems, as well as a wide range of mounting systems. This universal usability makes our guard rail plates the ideal choice for a wide range of applications and railway networks. In addition to our standard products, we also understand the importance of customized solutions. Our team of experts specializes in developing individual wheel steering plates that are precisely tailored to your specific needs and requirements.

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.

A wheel guide is a safety-relevant component in the track area that supports the tracking behavior of the wheel when passing over the frog in the turnout. It steers the wheel in a targeted manner and prevents derailments caused by excessive lateral play.
The wheel guide plate, on the other hand, serves as a mounting and fastening element for the wheel guide. It is installed between the wheel control arm and the sleeper (or solid road surface) and ensures correct positioning and power transmission. While the wheel control arm is in direct contact with the wheel, the wheel control arm plate is the connecting support element.
Further details on the structure of a turnout and the function of wheel guides can be found in the blog post “Structure of a turnout”.
