The
HoldFast polymer surface has excellent bonding characteristics
for exceptional strength and durability for all highway situations.
High
quality rubber granules have been purposely picked to give
excellent bonding characteristics when used with a specially
manufactured binder for HoldFast panels. Such
is the manufacturing precision, HoldFast are able to guarantee
panel sizes.

Fast
Delivery The
solid panels are made at ambient temperatures which drastically
reduces manufacturing time. Each mould is adapted and 'set-up'
for a particular country's needs and then kept unchanged, ensuring
fast delivery times. Delivery ex stock for most UK and European
crossings.
Fast
Installation Of
course, fast installation is essential to avoid prolonged closures
on busy artorial traffic routes. See our installation section
to discover just how fast HoldFast crossings are to install.
Protection The flange way
for train wheels acts as a good waterway to disperse water to
the end of the crossing. Also, the 'nose' of the panel is so tight
to the rail web that protection from corrosion to the rail flanges
and rail clips caused by salts, water etc. is assured. Many other
systems do not achieve this protection.
Panels
for any Sleeper All
panels are designed to sit on sleepers - whatever the profile
HoldFast make panels to suit, including Bull Header Rail and Flat
Bottom Rail. Although every fourth sleeper should be placed at
1.8 metre centres, the intermediate sleepers are not so critical.
Individual
Panel Removal Individual
panels can be removed at anytime without disturbing adjacent panels.
Gauge panels are made in two halves giving a distinct advantage
for installation and removal.
HoldFast's system does
not require shunting several panels backwards and forwards for
access to one particular panel. It is therefore not difficult
to offer 'half road closure' if necessary.
HoldFast's angle edge beam
and spring loaded end restraints further increase both road and
rail safety on heavy traffic highways. |
