Rubber Crossing Board

The Rubber Crossing Board is a durable and high-performance railway component designed to provide a smooth, safe, and stable surface for road and pedestrian crossings at railway intersections. Manufactured from premium recycled rubber and reinforced with steel or composite inserts, the Rubber Crossing Board combines excellent elasticity, strength, and resistance to heavy impact and environmental wear. Its modular design allows for easy installation, replacement, and maintenance, ensuring long-term functionality and cost efficiency for railway operators.

Each board is precisely molded to fit standard gauge and track configurations, providing excellent alignment and compatibility with various rail fastening systems. The anti-slip surface pattern ensures secure traction for vehicles and pedestrians, even under wet or icy conditions. With outstanding resistance to oil, UV radiation, chemicals, and temperature fluctuations, the Rubber Crossing Board maintains its structural integrity and performance in all weather environments. Designed for both temporary and permanent crossings, it can withstand repeated heavy loads such as trucks, buses, and freight vehicles without deformation or cracking.

Function & Application
The Rubber Crossing Board serves as an essential interface between railway tracks and roadways, ensuring safety, comfort, and stability for crossing traffic. Its primary function is to fill the gap between rails and road surfaces, creating a level and smooth passage that minimizes noise, vibration, and impact caused by vehicle movement over the rails. The elasticity of the rubber material absorbs dynamic forces effectively, reducing wear on rails, sleepers, and fastening components, and helping maintain track geometry over time.

Additionally, the board enhances safety by providing excellent anti-slip properties and visible markings that guide drivers and pedestrians across railway intersections. Its vibration-damping and noise-reduction performance contributes to a quieter and more comfortable crossing experience, especially in urban or residential areas. The product’s robust design allows it to endure frequent traffic and harsh operational conditions, while its modular configuration enables quick removal and reinstallation for maintenance or rail replacement activities.

The Rubber Crossing Board is widely used in railway level crossings, industrial sidings, light rail systems, metro depots, and freight terminals. It is compatible with different rail types such as P43, P50, P60, and UIC60, and can be installed on both concrete and wooden sleeper tracks. The boards can be customized in thickness, width, and shape to suit specific crossing layouts and vehicle load requirements.

Installation is simple and efficient, requiring minimal downtime. The boards are secured with specially designed anchoring and edge-beam systems that ensure a tight and stable fit. Environmentally friendly and recyclable, the Rubber Crossing Board supports sustainable rail infrastructure development while minimizing noise pollution and maintenance costs.

In summary, the Rubber Crossing Board offers an ideal combination of safety, durability, and performance for railway level crossings. It delivers long-lasting service, easy installation, and reliable operation under heavy traffic conditions—making it the preferred choice for modern, safe, and sustainable railway-road intersection solutions.

I. Overview of Railway Track Padding

Rubber track pads (hereinafter referred to as “rubber pads”) are critical components in railway track structures. Installed between rails and concrete sleepers, their primary functions include:

- Absorbing high-speed vibrations and impacts generated by passing vehicles to protect the subgrade and sleepers

- Providing electrical insulation for signaling systems Additionally, due to prolonged exposure to atmospheric conditions, rubber pads must exhibit excellent resistance to natural aging, cold temperatures, and heat. Rubber pads used in subways feature superior vibration damping and low-noise performance.

II. Characteristics of Railway Track Padding

1. Strong shock absorption, anti-aging properties, wear resistance, stability, and resistance to high and low temperatures. Products combine natural rubber, styrene-butadiene rubber, neoprene, HDPE, EVA, and high-density polyethylene. They exhibit high elasticity and resist deformation or fracture across various temperatures.

2. Extended service life with low maintenance and replacement costs.

3. Comprehensive range of models suitable for laying various rails (43kg, 50kg, 60kg) and sleepers (wooden, concrete).

4. Excellent load-bearing capacity, vibration damping, and insulation properties. Highly wear-resistant with minimal compression deformation, superior rigidity, aging resistance, and no mud displacement. Long service life and easy installation. Railway rubber pads significantly enhance rolling stock transport capacity, reduce crossing maintenance frequency, and prevent traffic accidents caused by stalled vehicles.

5. Rubber pads offer a service life exceeding three times that of traditional track plates. Testing confirms stable performance without deformation under applied pressures exceeding 80 tons. Manufactured primarily from rubber using scientific formulations and advanced production techniques, these pads meet railway speed enhancement and environmental requirements while boosting locomotive transport capacity.

Our factory is equipped with multiple guide rail pad production lines featuring machinery for machining, injection molding, rubber refining, vulcanization, forming, and inspection. We have our own rail pad development engineers, designing, producing and inspecting. What’s more, rail pads for high-peed rail are our featured products, including both the elastic rubber plates and height adjustment pads.
