Timber railway sleepers (cross ties) : Bridge sleepers

We produce not only track sleepers and switch sleepers, but also special timber railway sleepers for ballast free steel bridges. These bridge sleepers are usually made in oak, and than sawn, milled and drilled on our numerically controlled machining centre.

The lengths of these timber bridge sleepers are normaly the same like track sleepers : 2.40 m to 2.60 m for normal gauge or 1.80 to 2.00 m for narrow gauge. But the sections are larger : 25x25 cm is a standard, but we have also bigger dimensions on stock.
