Bridge Spikes
A bridge spike is a specialized construction fastener available in two lengths, 6 inches and 7 inches. It comes in two primary styles: ring shank and smooth shank. These spikes are designed for the purpose of securing wooden planks, beams, or railroad ties to create sturdy and durable bridges. The ring shank style features a series of ridges that provide enhanced grip and prevent the spike from loosening, making it particularly effective in applications where stability is crucial. The smooth shank style, on the other hand, offers a sleek and untextured surface, allowing for a more streamlined appearance while still providing strong fastening capabilities. Both styles of bridge spikes play a vital role in the construction and maintenance of bridges, ensuring they can withstand heavy loads and harsh environmental conditions.
