Fibre-reinforced foam urethane (FFU) sleepers for switches, crossings, and special trackwork applications. FFU combines the machinability of timber with the durability of synthetic materials, enabling complex geometries for turnouts and S&C layouts that recycled plastic sleepers cannot achieve.
Glass fibre-reinforced polyurethane foam (FFU)
Approximately 700–750 kg/m³
Comparable to high-grade tropical hardwood
Less than 1% by weight
-40°C to +60°C continuous
All standard screw-spike and clip systems

Les traverses (traverses) constituent la base de la structure de la voie ferrée et répartissent les charges entre les rails et le lit de ballast. Lankhorst EP fabrique des traverses de chemin de fer en plastique recyclé qui offrent une durée de vie de plus de 50 ans sans entretien, surpassant largement le bois en termes de durabilité, d'impact environnemental et de coût total de possession.
