Segmented Sleepers

Detailed view of vibration-damping coupling

Long sleepers in turnouts with lengths of more than 3 m can be manufactured in segments and connected by means of vibration-damping couplings.

The design of the vibration-damping coupling is such that long sleepers can be positively influenced with regard to vibrations.

Another advantage of the system of segmented long sleepers is that transport of completely pre-assembled turnout parts is possible from the turnout factory to the site by using standard wagons.

Advantages

  • Pre-assembly of the complete turnout in the factory with exact final inspection
  • Dismantling of the fully assembled turnout in components suitable for transport in standard wagons
  • Turnout installation directly from the wagon
  • Quality assurance, cost saving by time saving
