STRAILway
Sustainable high-performance railway sleeper made from recycled polymer
STRAILway is a robust polymer sleeper designed for the most demanding sections of the rail network – from bridges and turnouts to main lines. Made from fibre-reinforced polyolefins, it combines exceptional strength with sustainability. Fully approved by the German Federal Railway Authority (EBA), STRAILway sleepers are already proving their performance on numerous routes. Custom sleeper lengths straight from the factory allow flexible adaptation to site-specific installation conditions, ensuring optimal fit for every project.
High strength. Long life. Customizable.
STRAILway combines top technical performance in modern track construction with environmental sustainability.

Polymer sleeper solution for heavily used track areas
STRAILway is designed for high-traffic track sections, especially as track and turnout sleepers in local and long-distance traffic. The fibre-reinforced recycled polymer construction reliably meets requirements for permanent load, dimensional stability, and technical service life, even under high dynamic loads. With multiple design variants, STRAILway provides a sustainable alternative to traditional wooden sleepers.
Technical and economic advantages in sleeper replacement
STRAILway can be processed using standard tools, making installation quick and straightforward. Various fastening options, such as ribbed plates or direct fastening, allow flexible implementation. Its extremely long service life and full recyclability, including machining residues, ensure an excellent life cycle balance. STRAILway is a future-proof solution for infrastructure operators who wish to combine ecological responsibility with the highest technical standards.
