Hollow Steel Sleepers


We manufacture and supply a wide range of shallow depth (165mm deep) and full depth (200mm deep) hollow steel sleepers for the conveyance of cables and services under the track.

Our range of sleepers accommodates vertical and inclined vignole rails and 95RBH bullhead rails. We can accommodate varying rail sections and track gauges, adapting the sleepers to our customer’s specifications.

Benefits of our sleepers include:-

  • Depths are equivalent to concrete sleepers
  • Sleepers have removable covers and baseplates/saddle plates to ensure an easy retrofit, avoiding the need to cut cables.
  • Sleepers reduce the risk of damaging cables whilst tamping
  • Sleepers are insulated from the running rails to ensure that track circuits are maintained
