Points & Crossings ( Frog ) Measurement Gauges

The railway track maintenance instruments and equipment – Railroad frog makes the train wheels change from from one track to another. Railroad frog consists of fork, wing rail and connecting parts. Also known as the common crossing, it is the crossing point of two rails. Crossings have moving parts and are subjected to high and repetitive forces and vibrations during their life cycle. These railway track maintenance instruments and equipment need to be monitored accurately and  evaluated with respect to  switch track geometry, gaps and profiles and provide accurate measurements of critical parts of turnouts and crossings.

Frog wear measuring instrument is used to obtain line frog and wing rail wear value by a quick measurement of the vertical and side wear of rail frogs.
