TITAN – the new heavy-duty level crossing system from Rosehill Rail

Listen to this article

The latest addition to Rosehill Rail’s range of innovative level crossing solutions – TITAN – is the ultimate heavy-duty system able to accommodate some of the world’s heaviest traffic, from articulated dumpers to multi-axle haul trucks and ballast tractors.

Designed for use in mining, construction, and other heavyweight industrial environments, Rosehill Rail’s exclusive cold cure moulding process and unique polyurethane chemistry means TITAN panels have a surface deflection of rubber but the strength of steel. 

Sustainably and efficiently manufactured in the UK from recycled car tyres, the solid rubber panels are tough, durable, and engineered for long-term use. In contrast to concrete alternatives, rubber panels won’t crack, crumble or spall, and provide a long-lasting, low-maintenance solution.

Andrew Knight, Rosehill Rail Export Manager, said: “TITAN achieves lasting performance through extreme use previously unknown to rubber solutions. The system has been successfully used in place of concrete at iron ore mines in Western Australia and will soon become the default option for industrial heavyweight rail crossings around the world.”

Individual TITAN panels are compression moulded to avoid distortion and gapping which can affect rubber crossing systems manufactured using other methods. Panels can be manufactured for any track gauge and adapted for most types of rails, clips, and sleepers.

Rosehill Rail has over 30 years’ experience in polyurethane and rubber technology and has amassed a wealth of knowledge during their long history in the rail industry. Working with a range of global rail infrastructure companies on a wide variety of projects, Rosehill Rail provide crossing solutions tailored to any requirement.
