Innovative Turnout Solutions

Dual Gauge Turnout, Bangladesh

RTT designs and manufactures turnouts customised for desired speeds, axle loads and other specific needs of a client. 

Primary factors taken into consideration while designing are:

• Non-compensated horizontal acceleration
• Cant deficiency variation
• Jerk
• Lateral load
• Axle load
• Speed

RTT has designed turnout systems for layouts like diamond crossings, symmetrical switches, turnouts taking off from curve, double turnouts, single cross-over and scissors cross-over. We have also developed need-specific innovative products and designs like

• Dual guage turnouts
• Trailable turnouts
• Clamp lock
• In situ Glued Insulated Joint
• Head Hardened Switches & Crossings
• Turnouts for long welded rail track
• Spring setting device or multiple drives using rods and lever
• Special crossings that obviate the necessity of switches
• Thick web (symmetrical/asymmetrical) section switches
• Turnouts with sharp crossing angle for low speed and high axle load applications
• Clothoidal entry with tangential switch angle for divergent routes, thus reducing jerk
• Lubrication-free, low-maintenance slide chair with rollers or low-friction sliding inserts
• Different crossings like fabricated, welded, swing nose and cast manganese, with both obtuse and acute angle
