🔧 *Why is it so important to Lubricate Railway Fishplated Joints?* 🔧

Like anything, fishplated joints on the railway need care and attention! 🚂 But why is lubrication so critical for these joints? You're in the right place to find out! 📽️

Until the rise of continuously welded rail, fishplated joints were the primary method for connecting rails. Even today, with over half a million joints in the UK alone, they remain vital. 🌐

In this video, we'll explore:

🛠️ What exactly is a fishplated joint?
🌡️ How temperature changes impact rail joints
🔍 Why lubrication is key for preventing rail buckling and maintaining safety
🧴 How Interflon's innovative solutions make lubrication easier and more effective

Fishplated joints need to move with changing temperatures to prevent rail breaks and buckling. Proper lubrication ensures smooth expansion and contraction, reducing friction and maintaining rail alignment. 🚆

Interflon’s range of lubricants keeps railway components running smoothly, from point machines to fishplated joints. Their Lube EP is a game-changer, offering 20x more effective friction reduction without the mess of traditional black grease! 🧴✨
