Baseplate pads

More and more modern railway lines are being built with slab track systems. Highly elastic Getzner baseplate pads are used to ensure elasticity on tracks of this type. They are installed between the rib plate and the concrete slab.

Elastic baseplate pads maintain the load distribution qualities of the rail and reduce vibrations caused by irregularities in the wheels and track. By properly distributing the stiffness of the baseplate it is also possible to reduce the level of rail deflection caused by the rolling stock.

Getzner Werkstoffe has carried out a wide range of projects with these products in over 30 cities worldwide and in various high-speed lines around the world.
