Diamonds, crossings
Types
For smaller crossing angles
a forged or rolled block with welded-on full-head rails is used.
For crossings subjected to highest loads a design with welded manganese or with a manganese insert is offered.
High-manganese steel is characterized by its excellent resistance against stress typical of crossings.
For larger crossing anglesa
design consisting of welded block rails or full-head rails is used.
Check Rails

Material grades of crossing blocks |
Material grades of check rails |
Crossings for grooved rail turnouts for light rail / tram systems with shallow or deep grooves, depending on wheel sets, grooves and crossing angle conditions.
Check Rails
Depending on the crossing design, the check rails are manufactured either with shallow or deep grooves.
Special RI 60 VK or VKD 180/105 sections are used with grooved rails RI 60 or RI 59 in case of shallow grooves.
In case of deep grooves, the UIC33 check-rail profile is used for adjustable check rails and full-head profiles with machined grooves for the non-adjustable version.
