STRONG – STRONGER – STRAIL

Level crossings for heavy loads and mines

Several million axles roll over level crossings every year, both from individual traffic and trains – a double load that STRAIL systems can cope with. STRAIL is a heavy-duty and very durable level crossing system suitable for main artery roads, made in Germany. The modular system consists of individual solid rubber panels that are secured to a package using a lock tight system.

The first STRAIL level crossing was installed in 1976 and already back then, it was done in close cooperation with the client. Since then, we have been working together with our customers on our STRAIL level crossings, optimizing their functionality. In the meantime, more than 90,000 level crossings have been delivered and installed worldwide.

Our special, unique and patented manufacturing process guarantees a long service life and a high degree of robustness. Even the first STRAIL panels were produced by means of vulcanization at high temperatures under high pressure.

SIMPLY | RELIABLE

Available for all common types of superstructures
The systems have a rhombus design optimized for wet conditions with pyramid tips and vulcanized corundum which promises excellent slip resistance and minimizes wear and tear
When other materials give way or even break under high loads, the solid rubber panels are as good as ever

Truck drives over level crossing from STRAIL

SIMPLY | FAST

Fast in every process phase: from planning, through the installation to the virtually maintenance-free system
Installation for example in just three hours, with four to six workers and if required without machines
Maintenance: Can be removed and reinstalled quickly and with little effort
Short blocking times pay off in hard cash

SIMPLY | FLEXIBLE

Every level crossing system is specially designed and developed for its area of application
The modular rubber panels are equipped with tongue and groove and a patented lock tight system
All systems can flexibly be combined with each other
The easy-to-install lock tight system connects the panels lengthwise to form a continuous strand, it ensures positional stability and prevents the formation of gaps, even when driven over at an angle
