Introduction to Railway Crossing Board

Railway Crossing Board, also known as a Level Crossing Plate, is an essential safety component installed at level crossings where railways intersect with highways or industrial roads.
Its primary function is to provide a stable, anti-slip, and wear-resistant surface that allows vehicles and pedestrians to pass safely while protecting the crossing structure from long-term wheel loads and environmental damage.

By distributing loads, reducing vibration, and preventing road-surface deformation, railway crossing boards significantly enhance the safety and durability of level crossings.

Key Features of Railway Crossing Board

1) Safety Performance

• Anti-slip surface minimizes the risk of skidding.
• Reflective markings improve visibility at night.
• Shock-absorbing structure reduces vibration transmitted to the roadbed and crossing base.

2) Durability

• Rubber crossing plates resist aging, corrosion, moisture, and repeated impacts.
• All-steel plates provide exceptional load-bearing strength for heavy-duty and industrial railways.
• Composite plates combine rubber and concrete for improved stability and long service life.

3) Environmental Protection

• Rubber plates can be recycled and comply with EU REACH standards.
• Vibration- and noise-reducing design helps protect nearby residents.

4) Cost-effective

• Modular structure reduces installation time and labor.
• Long lifespan significantly lowers replacement frequency and maintenance costs.

Application Scenarios

1. Railway–Highway Level Crossings
   Applicable to standard lines, heavy-haul railways, and certain urban rail transit crossings.
2. Industrial and Mining Enterprises
   Used in mines, ports, factories, and logistic parks.
3. Special Environment Crossings
   Suitable for bridges, tunnels, elevated sections, and complex terrain.
4. Temporary Crossings
   For construction, emergency access, and short-term transportation needs.

Customization Options for Railway Crossing Board

• Material: Rubber, composite, concrete-rubber, or all-steel structure.
• Size: Supports customized length, width, and thickness based on crossing layout.
• Function Upgrades: Optional solar warning lights, reflective strips, and pressure-sensing devices.

Materials & Manufacturing of Railway Crossing Board

1) Materials and Processes

• Rubber Embedded Wire Plates: Natural + SBR rubber reinforced with nylon/cord fibers for high tensile strength and wear resistance.
• Concrete–Rubber Composite Plates: High-strength concrete base combined with a rubber anti-slip surface.
• All-steel Plates: Welded hot-rolled steel with galvanized or spray-coated anti-corrosion finish for heavy-load railways.

2) Performance Advantages

• Shock & Noise Reduction: Rubber can absorb over 90% of vibration.
• Anti-slip & Wear-resistant: Surface friction coefficient ≥0.8, safe for rainy/snowy environments.
• Weather Resistance: UV resistant, suitable for –40°C to +80°C.
• Easy Installation: Modular design, single-piece weight ≤150 kg, supports bolted or quick-splicing installation.
