01.-/ APPLICATION
innoSTRAIL, the high-strength and durable covering
for level crossings.
We recommend using innoSTRAIL for level cros-
sings with medium to high traffic volume (> de-
pending on the track structure). Compared to
STRAIL®
, this system - which is independent of
sleeper spacing - is made up of bigger, 900 mm
wide inner and outer panels, featuring a textile
enforced tongue and groove area.
02.-/ ADVANTAGES
innoSTRAIL is a high-strength and durable co-
vering for level crossings, which can be ma-
nufactured very economically due to the larger
panel measurements. The system also does not
require the use of filler blocks.
The system, consisting of full depth rubber pa-
nels, has an integrated, narrow flange groove
and is connected to form a complete package
using the lock tight system.
innoSTRAIL can be delivered suitable for any
track superstructure.
The system thus combines cost advantages with
a wide range of applications.

04.-/ INSTALLATION
innoSTRAIL quickly installed using an excavator.
Once the track has been brought to the pro-
per height and width, the position of the level
crossing is determined and the track super-
structure is prepared. Subsequently, the kerb-
stones may be installed according to
manufacturer‘s instructions.
The bitumen road connection is made up of se-
veral layers.
Afterwards, the bitumen road connection is con-
structed. Attention needs to be paid that it is
made up of several layers, each of which needs
to be compacted individually.
Then use the excavator bucket to push the
panels together, until the lip can slide under
the rail head. Next press the panel downwards.
Installation of the panels starts in the center.
Alternatively (if there is no excavator on site):
For inner panels, press the edge of the panel to-
gether using the installation lever and then hit
it with the plastic sledge hammer, forcing the lip
under the rail head.
With the help of the lock tight system, the
panels are secured longitudinally into a gap-free
package.
Guarantee / Maintenance
When properly installed according to instal-
lation instructions, we offer a guarantee on
innoSTRAILwhichgoesbeyondstatutorywarranty.
innoSTRAIL requires no regular maintenance.
Service life of the level crossing depends on the
respective traffic load. 15 years are the rule.
Extreme increases or reductions in traffic can
affect service life.
Detailed assembly instructions are included with delivery or available for download from www.strail.com.

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,
Rete Ferroviaria Italiana has been using STRAIL level crossings systems since more than 20
years (dal 1992) in all kind of level crossings.
Quality of products and Service were absolutely satisfying during this long business relation.
Usability and durability of STRAIL panels meet our specifications and expectations.
Most probably we will use STRAIL products also in our level crossings.

fast.
Traffic needs to flow, freely
and quickly. With STRAIL®
you
simply are fast – for planning, building and
maintenance. Our offers are typically drawn up
within 48 hours.
Your level crossing leaves our factory as ear-
ly as two weeks after placing your order.
Using a crew of 4-6 people and no additional
machines, you can install a 9 m long crossing in
merely three hours.
In case of track maintenance, STRAIL®
can
be removed and reinstalled quickly and
without much effort. In addition, our experts are
available virtually around the clock.
STRAIL®
is profitable. From the outset.
safe.
Wherever safety is concerned,
we accept no compromises.
STRAIL®
is different - ranging from its technically
simple, yet fast and safe installation, to its ability
to bear continuous loads on a daily basis without
any gap formation.
The tongue and groove connection prevents -
especially in case of diagonal traffic - the drea-
ded “sudden collapse” effect, well-known from
other single-panel systems.
Products which are part of the STRAIL®
family
have the smallest, permissible flange groove.
veloSTRAIL eliminates this gap entirely. And the
patented surface of the STRAIL®
rubber panels
achieves the same skid resistance as asphalt
(even when wet).

your investments.

Building level crossings is one
thing. Keeping them in excellent
condition is quite another. ”Fit & Forget” is our
motto; as a result: Maintenance-free level cros-
sings.
Over 30,000 crossings under varying climatic
conditions on five continents form the basis of
our reliable technology and materials. Besides,
your experiences help us to continuously perfect
STRAIL®

You benefit from the long service life of our pro-
ducts and with the support of the worldwide

08.-/ FAQ
What you have always wanted to know.
What are the STRAIL®
products made of?
(difference to other rubber panels)
All level crossing panels belonging to the STRAIL®
product family are made of rubber, while having
the smallest, permissible flange groove. A special
feature is that the entire panel is fully vulcanized,
according to a patented production process. On
the basis of this complex production process it is
possible to achieve outstanding product features
and a significantly longer service life.
Switches
In consultation with our design department,
special, dimensionally accurate panels are ma-
nufactured for the full-surface covering in the
area of the center and end parts of switches.
Radii
On principle, full-surface covering of radii is un-
problematic. Very tight radii are covered with a
specific number of special radii panels.
Application of STRAIL®
, pontiSTRAIL,
innoSTRAIL, pedeSTRAIL and veloSTRAIL
Depending on road and rail load, as well as indi-
vidual local conditions, a perfectly suited product
can be undoubtedly found within the STRAIL®
portfolio. It is generally recommended to consult
the responsible STRAIL®
representative, who will
gladly assist you in finding the right product for
your respective area of application.
