Barnshaws manufactures high-quality rails, made out of 50x50x8 mm equal angle bent toe-in at 297 mm inside radius, designed specifically for use along railway lines and trackside infrastructure. These precision-formed steel sections play a critical role in maintaining safe clearances and protecting trackside assets in demanding rail environments.
The toe-in angle profile with a specific inclination are engineered to meet modern railway standards, helping to deflect debris, discourage track access, and improve overall safety adjacent to live rail. Manufactured from high quality steel, the 50x50x8mm equal angle section offers an excellent balance of strength, durability and dimensional accuracy, making it suitable for long-term installation in exposed outdoor conditions.
As shown in the reference installations, these components integrate seamlessly with railway fencing systems, security barriers and anti-trespass measures, providing a consistent and professional finish along the rail corridor. Barnshaws’ advanced rolling and forming capabilities ensure tight tolerances, repeatability and compliance with customer specifications.
With decades of proven experience supporting the UK rail industry, Barnshaws is a trusted manufacturer of both bespoke and standard rolled steel solutions.
