Crossing Systems
The only crossing system designed specifically for high-speed rail. Moulded tongue and groove connections absorb wave effects that cause other systems to separate.
Built for Speed
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.
Key Capabilities
High-Speed
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
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
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.
