We produce the best products available through our innovative manufacturing process. In striving to achieve the perfect balance between steel and plastic, we have developed and patented cutting-edge steel technology for use in our rail boxes. Consistent – There is always a 0,5mm spacing in height between the steel and plastic sliding surface Dynamic – We have the perfect balance between steel Smooth – We have eliminated ‘bubbling’ plastic Effective – No screws are needed to attach the slide surface or sideboards Efficient – Our innovative production process means we can pass on cost-savings to you and plastic problems Thermal extension for Polyethylene is ten times higher than for metals, so for rails which are in use both during the coldest Winter days and on hot Spring afternoons, this can be a problem. But our revolutionary patented Steel Profile lets the plastic float free and the problem is completely eradicated. This ground-breaking approach puts us firmly at the forefront of our industry. 11 16 products : rails and boxes Sliding options We have worked hard to develop a wide range of rails so that you can cater for all the ability levels of your riders; rails come with different sliding surfaces and in various sizes.
