Sleepers for rails

Sleepers, also known as sleepers or track girders, are part of the superstructure construction of crane tracks and railways. The sleepers support the rails and thus also the systems that run over them. It is important that the rails are stable and remain so. When stable a crane or train cannot derail and does not cause unnecessary vibration and noise. Sleepers do not reduce noise or vibration, but can cause a great deal of inconvenience if they deviate.

Heavy duty crane runway sleepers

Our concrete crane track sleepers for a wheel load standard up to 450 kN are unique. They are extremely suitable for locations where founded concrete constructions are not sufficient because of the ground settlement. These heavy-duty crane runway sleepers have been developed especially for RMG (ARMG) cranes by Konecranes, ZPMC, Gottwald, Kuenz, Liebherr and Kalmar. They are often used at container terminals with a ‘soft’ surface.

At Bemo Rail we think quality and sustainability are very important. That’s why we are constantly innovating and looking for the best applications and materials and now offer bamboo sleepers and sulphur concrete sleepers.

Bamboo: bamboo absorbs 5 times more C02 and produces 35% more oxygen than an equivalent piece of forest with trees. In addition, it grows up to 1 metre a day without destroying the bamboo forest. The bamboo is split into strips and the loose fibres are compressed with an environmentally friendly resin, resulting in a very strong and robust material, ideal for sleepers.

Sulphur concrete: Sulphur concrete is 100% circular, has low C02 emissions and does not lose quality.  The product is similar to traditional concrete, whereby the cement and water have been replaced by sulphur.
