With Getzner products and solutions for the rail sector, life cycle costs of railway lines are demonstrably lowered. The higher the amount of traffic, the greater the return on the investment. They reduce wear on superstructure components and, in turn, the upkeep costs associated with a section of track. At the same time, they increase the service life and cost-effectiveness of railway lines.

Problems with railway lines

  • Short maintenance intervals
  • Restricted route availability due to frequent shut-down periods
  • Short tamping intervals
