Intrepid International Stable Supplies Nylon Cross Tie for Horses

Product Information

The crosstie spacing of mainline railroad is approximately 19 to 19.5 inches (48 to 50cm) for wood ties or 24 inches (61cm) for concrete ties. The number of ties is 3,250 wooden crossties per mile (2,019 ties/km, or 40 ties per 65 feet) for wood ties or 2,640 ties per mile for concrete ties.

Cross tie straps are usually made of nylon or polyester, but I have seen them made from all kinds of materials, including chains, bungee, and leather.

Aside from the environmental benefits of using recycled material, plastic ties usually replace timber ties soaked in creosote, the latter being a toxic chemical, [14] and are theoretically recyclable. [11] However, plastics may shed microplastics and leach other possibly toxic chemicals such as ultraviolet inhibitors. On the highest categories of line in the UK (those with the highest speeds and tonnages), pre-stressed concrete ties are the only ones permitted by Network Rail standards. Regardless of which breakaway method you prefer, use one because it’s better for a horse to break the cross-ties and run loose than hurt himself.

When my granddaughter and I went to the racehorse barn, she noticed that the trainer secured the horses differently from us at home. We typically use a single lead rope, while he uses cross ties. On our way home, she wanted to know all about cross ties and if we could set some up for her horse. The lateral ties are transverse reinforcement which forms an individual ring with a fixed spacing between each the links (figure-1(c)). The lateral stirrups provided can be two-legged stirrups, four-legged stirrups or six-legged stirrups etc depending on the column cross-section and the number of vertical or longitudinal reinforcement bars employed. The helical reinforcement can also be used as spiral reinforcement. Helical bars are mainly recommended for seismic design. Under the action of seismic loads, the concrete that is attached to the helical reinforcement is initially peeled off. This helps to provide a warning sign about the structural condition of the column. Steel Sleepers in the Rail Industry – they are still made, and have quite a history".

The two sleepers adjacent to a joint may be 12 inches (305mm) wide where the formation is soft or the traffic is heavy and fast. Sleepers are mostly spaced 2ft 7in (0.79m) apart (centre-to-centre) but are closer adjacent to fishplated rail joints where the spacing sequences are as follows with the spacing at the fishplate highlighted.I-Plas Limited".

Historically spikes gave way to cast iron chairs fixed to the tie, more recently springs (such as Pandrol clips) are used to fix the rail to the tie chair. I also had one horse who would fight when tied with one rope to the wall. He was claustrophobic and would paddle and rear, getting his foot over the rope. I had a ring each side of the doorway and he could then tie with his head outside. No claustrophobia, fairly loose ropes, no drama. If he pawed, it was a short thing, no punching the walls or climbing the ropes.

The London, Midland and Scottish Railway specified 18 sleepers per 45-foot (13.72m) rail and 24 sleepers per 60-foot (18.29m) rail, [4] both of which correspond to 2,112 sleepers per mile. Most European railways also now use concrete bearers in switches and crossing layouts due to the longer life and lower cost of concrete bearers compared to timber, which is increasingly difficult and expensive to source in sufficient quantities and quality.

Constant chewing will not harm them. In the unlikely event of them breaking, provided the end with the moulded impression of a horse’s head picture is on the head collar, they will spring away from the horse.
