HEAVY HAUL SLEEPERS: DESIGNED FOR MAXIMUM FREIGHT LOADS
RAILONE heavy haul sleepers are engineered to withstand high axle loads, intensive freight traffic and demanding operating conditions. Drawing on many years of development expertise, RAILONE delivers robust, durable solutions that can be adapted to different route and environmental conditions.
With proven sleeper types for markets such as the United States, Saudi Arabia, Germany and South Africa, RAILONE provides high-performance solutions for international heavy haul transport.
Heavy haul sleepers are specifically designed to withstand extreme loads over the long term. High axle loads, intensive freight traffic and demanding operating and environmental conditions place particular requirements on materials, design and durability.
Our heavy haul sleepers are engineered to meet the demanding requirements of freight transport and are used worldwide. Drawing on our own development expertise and many years of experience, we offer customized solutions for a wide range of track conditions and regional requirements.
Depending on the region, our current portfolio includes the following sleeper types for heavy haul applications:
- United States: HHT 15
- Saudi Arabia: AR 06
- Germany: RBS
- South Africa: PY
