Leader in Railway Sleeper Innovation Based in Sneek, the Netherlands, Lankhorst Rail is a business unit within Lankhorst Engineered Products, a market leader in the development and production of premium quality polymer products made from virgin and recycled materials. Lankhorst Rail manufactures the KLP range of Hybrid Polymer Sleepers. These are a sustainable and maintenance free alternative for wooden and concrete sleepers. With an expected service life of 50 years, they offer rail infrastructure operators significant savings in maintenance and replacement costs compared with traditional sleepers. Hybrid Polymer Sleepers have great lateral stability and vertical stability. The recycled plastic sleeper is manufactured from high quality, ductile, reinforced plastic with integral steel reinforcement. This combination of materials produces high strength properties as well as excellent damping characteristics, comparable with the best performance aspects of wooden and concrete sleepers. Lankhorst Rail KLP sleepers were first installed in 2006 in the Netherlands and are since then approved by the German Federal Railway Authority, Dutch ProRail, New Zealand Kiwi Rail, Tasmanian Rail Authority, London Underground, Malaysian Railway Authority and many more. Lankhorst Rail has extensive manufacturing and research and development facilities. The 12.000 sq. meter Lankhorst Engineered Products site features advanced manufacturing control and automated production systems together with extensive and rigorous quality testing. Lankhorst Rail is an active participant on the Railway Sleepers ISO standards committee. Our railroad sleepers are typically used in railway infrastructure: • main track • turnouts and crossings • bridges and viaducts • tunnels • heavy freight traffic lines.

The KLP® Hybrid Polymer Sleeper by Lankhorst, successfully applied in various projects across the Netherlands, including the Willemsspoortunnel, showcases the strength of sustainable collaboration with voestalpine Track Solutions Netherlands B.V.
Altijd de juiste oplossing bieden. Dat kan als je intensief met partners samenwerkt. Ons jarenlange partnership met Lankhorst Rail is hier een mooi voorbeeld van. Een samenwerking waar kennis en expertise van beide partijen samenkomen. De KLP® Hybrid Polymer Sleeper is inmiddels bewezen succesvol toegepast op verschillende projecten in Nederland, zoals de Rotterdamse Willemsspoortunnel. De vochtige omstandigheden in deze tunnel maakten houten dwarsliggers ongeschikt, terwijl betonnen liggers door hun gewicht geen optie waren. De kunststof liggers bleken hier de ideale keuze voor dit project. Meer weten? Lees het artikel: https://bit.ly/3ZWx3KL #voestalpine #railwaysystems #railinfra #samenwerking #duurzaam #dwarsliggers

Belgian railway and infrastructure specialists, Mobix - Infrastructure for Good, has used #KLP Hybrid Polymer Sleepers during the complete renovation of the Noordlandbrug at Zandvliet, Belgium. According to a spokesperson, “Installation of the KLP sleepers was very easy. We installed the sleeper by using a mini excavator with a coping clamp to put them in place and this went very smoothly. The pre-drilled holes also overlap perfectly with the holes in the new L-irons.” #KLP Hybrid Polymer Sleepers are ideal for girder bridges due to their excellent damping characteristics and optimum bending stiffness combined with relatively low weight. For the Noordlandbrug project, Lankhorst milled each individual sleeper to the correct height in the bridge construction to even out any deviations in the bridge girders.

No one wants a derailment but if one occurs then replacing damaged wooden and concrete sleepers can delay the resumption of rail services. This isn't the case with #KLP Hybrid Polymer Sleepers, as one rail operator discovered recently when a fully loaded truck, with axle load 10 tonnes was derailed. The wheel flange pressed into the sleeper surface with 5 tonnes load. As you can see there are only surface scratches, demonstrating the quality and robustness of the #KLP sleepers. Not having to replace the sleepers meant rail services were soon back up and running. Lankhorst Engineered Products, Lankhorst Rail, WireCo, HIRD Group, InnoTrans, #railway #crosstie #railroad
It's official ... Network Rail announces development of environmentally friendly sleeper technology. Network Rail with Lankhorst Engineered Products have completed development of "a new type of sleeper technology that will reduce the carbon impact of the railway quite significantly," says Nick Matthews, Network Rail’s programme engineering manager. The #KLP Hybrid Polymer Sleeper Type 104 contains up to 90% less embedded carbon than wooden models and up to 78% less than those made from concrete. Moreover, as a moulded product the #KLP Type 104 sleeper could be precisely designed to optimise its performance in track.
