World leading technology in railway buffer stops

LLALCO HAS DEVELOPED A NEW INNOVATIVE DESIGN, CONSISTING OF A HIGH-PERFORMANCE SLIDING GAS-HYDRAULIC BUFFER STOP FOR TRACKS WITH PASSENGER TRAINS WITH REDUCED SLIDING DISTANCE.

The protection of track ends with safety elements in the event of an impact is increasingly an essential element. Something that undoubtedly demonstrates this fact is the exemplary involvement that ADIF is taking in this type of system, being a pioneering institution worldwide and publishing the first Buffer Stop Regulations in Spain NAG5200_ED1 at the beginning of 2022, to regulate the installation of devices for impact attenuation in track ends with passenger trains.

Recently, Llalco has developed a new innovative design, consisting of a high-performance sliding gas-hydraulic buffer stop for tracks with passenger trains with reduced sliding distance. On 2022 has been installed at the Arenys de Mar, Mataró, Vilanova i la Geltrú and San Vicente de Calders stations for ADIF in Catalonia.

The key points that stand out with this type of buffer stop are:

  • Fast installation in 1 hour:
  • Does not require civil works:
  • Removable:
  • Minimum track occupancy with cumulative system of friction shoes:
  • Deceleration control with gas-hydraulic technology:

More and more railway infrastructures worldwide are becoming aware of the importance of protecting track ends with safety systems for shock absorption. Innovation is a key element to develop solutions adaptable to each project that allow improvement in safety with the least possible impact on existing infrastructures.
