LINK crossing system installation

Crossing Systems

LINK System

The only crossing system designed specifically for high-speed rail. Moulded tongue and groove connections absorb wave effects that cause other systems to separate.

Next-Generation Linking Technology

Horizontal tongue and groove connections lock panels into a single matrix that moves as one under dynamic loading. Designed for modern high-speed networks where conventional crossings fail — preventing the vertical lift and panel separation that plagues standard systems.

Why Specify LINK

High-Speed

Wave Effect Management

High-speed trains create vertical lift forces that separate conventional panels. LINK's horizontal tongue and groove connections absorb this movement, keeping the crossing surface intact under the most demanding dynamic conditions.

Structural

Single Matrix Distribution

Panels link into a single matrix that distributes loads across the entire crossing surface, not just individual panels. Prevents localised stress and premature wear. Compression-manufactured using cold cure moulding for rubber flexibility with structural strength.

Compatibility

Retrofit Ready

Compatible with existing track infrastructure — all rail profiles, gauge types, and 600mm sleeper centres. No modifications to rail, sleepers, or fasteners required. Drop-in replacement for ageing crossing systems on high-speed lines.

Where LINK Excels

High-Speed Rail

Wave effect management on lines above 125mph.

Urban Transit

Dynamic loading in busy metropolitan networks.

Retrofit Projects

Drop-in replacement for ageing crossings.

Standard Rail

Superior performance on any rail network.

Mixed Traffic

Handles varying vehicle weights and speeds.
