Edge Beam Overview
The Superior Choice: Rosehill Rubber Edge Beams for Level Crossings
Rosehill’s rubber edge beams, also known as kerbs or cill beams, are the superior alternative to traditional concrete solutions for level crossings. Designed to support the cess, 6-foot, or outer crossing panels, these beams combine strength and sustainability.
Our rubber edge beams are installed in the same way as concrete beams but offer significant advantages, including substantial weight savings and easier handling. Rosehill lifting pins make the fitting process straightforward, providing a safer and more efficient installation experience.
Strategically positioned lifting holes reduce installation time, making these beams a practical, convenient solution for modern level crossing projects—delivering both durability and efficiency for railway infrastructure.
Durable, Sustainable Rubber Edge Beams with Minimal Maintenance
Rosehill Rail’s edge beams are manufactured from 100% recycled tyre rubber, using our innovative cold cure technology to ensure a long, reliable lifespan. Unlike traditional concrete, these beams are highly resilient and won’t crack or spall, delivering exceptional durability in the face of heavy vehicular traffic and varying climate conditions—all with minimal maintenance.
Available in standard 1.8-metre lengths, our rubber edge beams are ready for quick installation upon delivery and can be stacked and transported efficiently, unlike heavier, more cumbersome concrete alternatives. This makes them ideal for both new installations and ongoing maintenance projects.
With full Network Rail acceptance, Rosehill Rail’s rubber edge beams offer a sustainable and dependable solution for railway infrastructure. Visit our demonstration facility in Sowerby Bridge to see them in action and discover the benefits they bring to a wide range of rail applications.
