A rubber crossing plate is a durable panel installed at rail crossings to provide a continuous, safe surface across sleepers and rails. It protects track components, offers electrical insulation and improves pedestrian/vehicle crossing safety.
The product is available in HDPE, EVA and rubber formulations, allowing selection based on mechanical and environmental requirements.
This crossing plate is designed for compatibility with UIC 54, UIC 60, BS 80 lbs and BS 100 lbs rail profiles.
Typical parameters (vary by material): density 0.95–0.98 g/cm³; hardness range approximately 75±5A up to ≥98A depending on formulation; tensile strength in the range ≥12.5–≥19 MPa; elongation from >80% up to >500%; melting point 170–190 °C; insulation resistance ≥1×10^10 Ω.
The operating temperature range is approximately −25 °C to 100 °C.
The standard color is black. Ask the supplier about custom color options if required.
Installation typically involves aligning the plate to the rail profile and fixing it to sleepers or existing fastenings per track design. Specific bolt patterns and installation instructions depend on track type—request the manufacturer's installation guide for details.
Yes. The product has a high insulation resistance (≥1×10^10 Ω), making it suitable where electrical insulation between rail and crossing surface is required.
Rubber formulations provide good grip and are commonly used at pedestrian and vehicle crossings. Confirm the specific surface texture and anti-slip grade with the supplier for your application.
The material melting point is in the 170–190 °C range. Normal service temperatures are up to 100 °C; performance at higher temperatures depends on material selection.
Maintenance is low: periodic inspections to check for wear, debris removal, and replacement of plates showing excessive wear or damage. Follow railway maintenance schedules and the manufacturer's recommendations.
Yes. Plates can typically be customized in dimensions, thickness, mounting hole patterns and material grades to fit specific track geometries and performance requirements—contact the supplier with your specifications.
Service life depends on traffic load, environmental exposure and material choice. For an estimated lifespan for your application, provide traffic and site conditions to the manufacturer for a projected service-life assessment.
Resistance properties vary by material (HDPE, EVA, rubber). Many formulations offer good resistance to oils and UV, but performance is formulation-dependent—request detailed chemical and UV resistance data from the supplier for your specific conditions.
Contact the supplier or manufacturer with required rail profile, dimensions and quantities. They will provide pricing, minimum order quantities, lead times, packaging and shipment options.
