  • Available in Butyl, EPDM or SBR type rubber.  

  • Custom sizes available 

  • Stock sizes for 5-1/2” rail base and 6” rail base. 

  • Holes included

 

Our three-piece rail seat system secures rail to slab or plinth systems to reduce noise and vibration. 

  • 100% vulcanized rubber  

  • 5-1/2” or 6” rail base 

  • Custom lengths and hole locations available

Elastomeric Rail Pads

  • Elastomeric Polyurethane Pads per AREMA Standards

  • Multiple Thickness available up to 2”

  • Standard color: Black (Color options available)

  • Lengths up to 20 feet

  • Custom Holes included (shop drawing required)

  • High Performance Bearing Pad Material

  • Shock Pads

Our founder Nelson Moses came up with this concept in 1937. While the concept is the same, the material has evolved into a highly engineered ROF (randomly-oriented-fiber) rubber, also known as masticated rubber. Our pads are on every class one system in the United States and also in Chicago and New York City Transits. 

  • High Shear Strength prevents pads from “wiggling” out 

  • High Tensile  Strength (1050 psi) provides toughness under speed 

  • 25% max compression set at 70 degrees C 

  • Prevents the tie plate from cutting into the tie, creating longer tie life 

  • Used on bridges and in-line rail 

  • Available in 1/8”, ¼”, ½” or 1”
