A durable turnout assembly that supports the heel of the switch blade, providing a reliable pivot point for accurate and safe switch operation.
A heel block assembly is a critical component of a railway turnout that supports and secures the heel end of the switch blade, allowing it to pivot smoothly between the open and closed positions. Its primary function is to provide a strong pivot point for the switch blade, ensuring accurate movement, maintaining alignment, and enabling the safe transfer of trains through the turnout. Heel block assemblies are designed for railway turnouts used in underground mining, surface rail networks, industrial sidings, and heavy-haul applications where reliable switch operation and long-term durability are essential.
