Intrepid International Stable Supplies Nylon Cross Tie for Horses

Product Information

Historically, steel ties have suffered from poor design and increased traffic loads over their normally long service life. These aged and often obsolete designs limited load and speed capacity but can still be found in many locations globally and performing adequately despite decades of service. There are great numbers of steel ties with over 50 years of service and in some cases they can and have been rehabilitated and continue to perform well. Steel ties were also used in specialty situations, such as the Hejaz Railway in the Arabian Peninsula where the dry, hot climate made wood ties unsatisfactory. [9] Krylov, Victor V. (2001).

If you’re designing a new horse barn, I strongly suggest including an area to set up cross ties. Working with horses can be a lot of fun, but it’s essential to ensure you do everything safely. One necessary safety precaution is setting up cross ties for your horses. The standard cross tie is the most common type. It consists of two ropes or chains attached to either side of facing walls or two posts with a snap on the end.

Rails in the US may be fastened to the tie by a railroad spike; iron/steel baseplates screwed to the tie and secured to the rail by a proprietary fastening system such as a Vossloh or Pandrol which are commonly used in Europe.Grant, H.

They are gauge-convertible by cutting and welding the steel bar to the dimension that suits the new gauge. 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. The material should have a little give or be attached to something flexible.

I don’t cross tie for pelvic injuries or broken legs, I have a few boxes designed for this so they are almost like stalls. Horses face the window so they can look out at the world, munch their haylage, and drink, but they can’t turn round or lie down. They heal much faster, and are much less likely to develop stress induced laminitis this way. Final phase of KiwiRail turnaround funded". Railway Gazette . Retrieved 2018-08-01.

Sleepers are 8ft 6in (2.59m) long, 10 inches (254mm) wide and 5 inches (127mm) deep. 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. If you’re a horse owner, then you know the importance of keeping your horse calm and relaxed. One way to do this is by using cross ties. They’re a safe and convenient way to handle your horse, making grooming and saddling much easier.The fractional inch spacing at the fishplate corresponds to the thermal expansion gap allowed between the rail ends.

I understand that vets, therapists, and farriers should not be expected to put themselves in jeopardy with a horse that might lash out at them. However, a responsible owner should put in the time and effort to ensure the horse is okay with whatever intervention is bothering it beforehand. I don’t expect my farrier to have to deal with an unruly horse. Nevertheless, in my opinion, it’s not okay to hide the issue with cross-ties. Wide sleepers: so far, so good!". railone.com.
