Supplementary solutions for special requirements
Flexible additions to our systems for enhanced safety, accessibility, and efficiency
Not every level crossing or track area can be fully addressed with standard solutions. KRAIBURG STRAIL therefore offers purpose-built supplementary solutions designed to meet specific structural, safety, or operational requirements. Whether to enhance accessibility, secure sensitive areas, or improve visibility at crossings, all systems integrate seamlessly with existing STRAIL installations and can be installed just as quickly and easily as our standard level crossing systems.
Our supplementary solutions are versatile, robust, and low-maintenance, providing functionality precisely where conventional solutions reach their limits.

Keeping tracks safe: grid at Ulzburg Süd Station
Effective protection against unauthorized access to the track area: At the busy Ulzburg Süd station in Schleswig-Holstein, it only took 3.5 hours to install grid over a 30 m² area. The rubber panels enhance safety and convinced AKN Eisenbahn GmbH of its effectiveness.
edge bridges the gap between the tram and the platform in Florence
To ensure optimal safety and comfort for passengers at the 15 stops of Florence’s Tram Line 1, the gaps between the platforms and the trams needed to be closed. KRAIBURG STRAIL’s flexible and durable edge system provided the perfect solution: it acts as a sturdy cushion while bridging the gap, significantly enhancing boarding safety.
pedeSOLAR creates bright, intuitive guidance for pedestrians at level crossings
The innovative and sustainable pedeSOLAR system provides a self-sufficient, solar-powered lighting solution. It offers clear, additional guidance for cyclists and pedestrians, particularly in the area near a school in Kaltenkirchen Süd (Germany). The use of solar energy minimizes the risk of accidents in the dark and increases road safety in a sustainable and environmentally friendly way.
Smooth crossing: profil closes crane rail gaps at the Port of Antwerp
Massive container cranes require large recesses in the quay to move along their rails. At the Port of Antwerp, these gaps—up to 55 cm deep—posed a significant obstacle and a safety risk for other traffic. Discover how the STRAIL system profil safely bridges the gap, optimizes logistics, and ensures the safety of all vehicles and personnel.
The advantages of STRAIL’s supplementary solutions
Safe. Visible. More accessible.
KRAIBURG STRAIL provides tailored supplementary solutions for challenging track environments. They enhance pedestrian safety, increase visibility at night, and ensure barrier-free crossings—all without the need for extensive retrofitting.
- grid prevents people from walking on the tracks thanks to its irregular pyramid structure – ideal for protecting people and animals.
- pedeSOLAR enhances the visibility of pedestrian crossings with solar-powered LED lights. The system operates autonomously, is durable, and works without any power connection.
- edge provides accessible boarding and alighting through flexible, profiled rubber edges, and can also be used at bus stops.
Advantages for operators, maintenance and infrastructure
In addition to safety-focused solutions, KRAIBURG STRAIL offers functional system enhancements: carefully designed, durable features for everyday use.
- profile runs alongside the track and is ideal for use in and around maintenance halls and on service roads, ensuring safe and comfortable passage for delivery vehicles and forklifts.
- The drainage kit efficiently directs surface water away from the flange groove, keeping level crossings free from standing water.
- All systems are fast to install, robust, and, when needed, fully compatible with existing STRAIL level crossings.
