HIRD Rail Development is the official UK service partner for the KLP Hybrid Polymer Bearers and Sleepers manufactured by Lankhorst Mouldings in The Netherlands.
The revolutionary Hybrid Polymer Sleeper has been carefully designed with the environment in mind. Made from 100% recycled polymer and reinforced with two steel bars, our hybrid polymer sleepers use 35% less material than traditional solid shape sleepers. They are the perfect alternative to concrete, steel, and timber sleepers. The hybrid polymer sleepers can be supplied with either flat, or inclined baseplate areas. Thanks to their durability and superior lateral resistance in ballast, the sleepers are maintenance free and will last for over 50 years.
Since their introduction to the market in 2006, the polymer S&C units have secured their place as an industry staple worldwide.
The clever design is comprised of four steel reinforcement bars completely encased and moulded into the S&C and bridge bearers for rigidity and strength.
Available specifications:
Our hybrid polymer bridge bearers are the ideal choice for use on steel bridges, thanks to their sound damping characteristics and relative low weight, made up of 100% recycled polymer.
