Track sleepers
Preservation of timber is for a long time the central activity in Glovelier. The company is the unique producer for timber railway sleepers in Switzerland. Ets Röthlisberger SA is a confidence partner of Swiss Federal railways and other private companies.
We use exclusively hardwoods (beech and oak) for the production of our timber sleepers. The logs issue from our region, and we support the sustainable management of our forests.
Various dimensions are available :
- Cross sections according UIC-norms
- Lengths for normal-gauge (2.40 m to 2.60 m) or narrow-gauge tracks (1.80 à 2.00 m)
In order to insure a long service life, the timber sleepers are dried, and than impregnated with creosote (1st quality, WEI-Type C).
