Thank you very much for visiting us at Rail Live. Please see below details of our key products and links to technical datasheets.

  • PROTECTOR PIV - PROTECTOR  - Our configurable PROTECTOR® system accurately targets friction modifying material on the appropriate part of the rail. The accurate dosing of the PROTECTOR system allows you to optimise your application, the PROTECTOR system is available in various designs to suit your needs . 

  • MC-5 Bar – Our new MC-5 bar is designed to be lighter, with fewer components to improve maintainability, and better grease distribution.

  • Remote Performance Monitoring (RPM) – L.B. Foster’s remote performance monitoring system allows monitoring of your trackside friction management assets enabling you to optimise the planning of your maintenance and filling.

  • PW Hydraulic Lubricator – The hydraulic PW applicator is a low cost, and provides an economically optimal solution for lesser used lines or where space is constrained, and can be partially embedded in ballast. 

  • KELTRACK Transit EX – KELTRACK Transit EX is the newest formulation of KELTRACK designed for passenger and mixed traffic lines with greater retentivity and carry down. As a water based top of rail friction modifier it maintains the same great control of intermediate friction, reducing wear, RCF, corrugation and squeal whilst maintaining traction and braking performance.  Read more…
