Steel Reinforced Crossings

The Steel Reinforced grade crossing system includes a virgin rubber panel reinforced with a 1/4" corrugated steel plate, installed on transverse or longitudinal, pressure-treated, hardwood shims.

The virgin rubber absorbs the impact of concentrated loads such as lift trucks, while the steel plate provides the strength to carry heavy loads. The Steel Reinforced system is ideal for low MGT, heavy truck use, such as intermodal yards and private industry. With the purchase of the Goodyeartm product line, OMNI is the only supplier of this type of product.
