Steel Sleepers

The Steel Sleeper is a new product that will support the country's railway development with durability and cost savings.
It has a much longer service life than the conventional ones. It is much lighter, so more practical when it comes to being placed or changed. Because it is recyclable and replaces with many advantages those of wood and concrete, the metallic sleeper becomes a strategic ally of the environment.

Manufactured according to the NBR 16863/UIC 865 standard, Hidremec’s Steel Sleepers can be tailored, upon inquiry, to meet the characteristics and needs of each customer. They feature a clean and flat surface, free of defects. The edges are rounded off and holes are cold stamped
