FAQ
What you have always wanted to know.
- What are the STRAIL® products made of? (difference to other rubber panels)
All level crossing panels belonging to the STRAIL® productfamily are made of recycling and virgin rubber, while having the smallest, permissible flange groove. A special feature is that the entire panel is fully vulcanized, according to a special production process. On the basis of this complex production process it is possible to achieve outstanding product features and a significantly longer service life.
- Switches
In consultation with our design department, special, dimensionally accurate panels are manufactured for the full-surface covering in the area of the center and end parts of switches.
- Radii
On principle, full-surface covering of radii is unproblematic. Very tight radii are covered with a specific number of special radii panels.
- Application of STRAIL®, pontiSTRAIL, innoSTRAIL, pedeSTRAIL and veloSTRAIL
