The UTT 21 tie was specifically developed to meet the demanding requirements of Urban Transit in North America.
It can be equipped with various rail fastening systems and adapted to different rail profiles and rail inclinations.
Thanks to its reduced number of variants and high durability, it offers a particularly cost-effective solution for Urban Transit.
Compliant with relevant standards: Designed in accordance with AREMA Manual Chapter 30 and TCRP Report 115, meeting the stringent requirements for transit ties
Universal compatibility: Compatible with all modern rail fastening systems and rail types
Standardised design: A single tie design for different systems simplifies planning and installation
Stable and safe: Optimised rail inclinations of 1:40 or 1:20 and a special geometry increase lateral track resistance; optionally available with derailment protection
