Choosing HoldFast increases your efficiency and reduces your costs.

Reduce Frequency of Replacements
Invest in the durability of a HoldFast system for an extended lifespan.

Reduce Rail and Road Closure Times
The very fast installation reduces the loss of revenue from cancelled freight and passenger traffic and also reduces compensation claims from highways authorities for road closures.

Reduce The Threat of Insurance Claims
The skid resistance and improved safety attributes of the System reduce the likelihood of expensive insurance claims for accidents and even loss of life.

Reduce Tamping Costs
Individual panels can be removed and replaced easily and quickly without disturbing adjacent panels.

Reduce Track Bed Deterioration
The design of the crossing protects the track bed. The ‘nose’ of the panel is designed to sit tight to the rail web to protect the rail flanges from corrosion. The flangeway for train wheels acts as a waterway to disperse surface water to the end of the crossing.

Reduce the Cost of Road Approach Replacement
The HoldFast system incorporates steel angle edge beams and concrete beams to sit between the cess panel and road approach. This prevents asphalt being pushed into the rail track ballast and seriously impeding safety at crossing sites.

Reduce The Cost of Road Marking across the Crossing
The system has been designed for greater white lining adhesion. Crossing markings normally wear fast.

Reduce Installation Staff Costs
The number and duration of staff is minimal for a successful installation. With only one man on the track working with just one experienced machine operator, up to 14.4 track metres can be installed in one hour. No isolation of overhead electric cables is necessary.

The step by step ease of the system’s installation and the provision of a simple installation video negates the need for any special training, experience or the attendance of senior on-site management.

Reduce Transportation Costs
The crossing system can be delivered and off loaded direct to sites in the UK and across Europe to coincide with specific installation times. This eliminates the costs of storage and final stage delivery for the sub-contractor.
