Ballast-Lok® Rubber Ballast Mats

Cold Forge are the Australian distributor for Calenberg Ingenieure rail products.

Calenberg synthetic and natural rubber products deliver enhanced elasticity in trackbed structures and protect the overall track bed system thanks to their material characteristics.  This reduces maintenance and repair costs for our clients significantly.

Sub-ballast mats are available in different designs and rigidities for use with axle loadsup to 250 kN and all train speeds.

The wear-resistant protective layer in USM G 1000 mats withstand mechanical impact such as those from ballast or light construction machinery passing over the mat without the granulate layer (isolating layer) being damaged.

Conical stud mats are used to meet project-specific requirements – from ballast protection in the case of a reduced ballast bed thickness through to efficient isolation of structure-borne sound and vibrations in mass-spring systems.

Using elastic rail pads and base plate pads in special rail fastening systems exploits the load-transferring effect of rails. Wheel forces acting on the rail are distributed across several support points, so that stress is greatly reduced on the directly affected rail support point.
