News and developments

We develop and build our technology from our workshop in Sheffield, UK. Innovation is the foundation of our business and the PRT300 is just the beginning. We’ll be using this page to keep you updated on exciting new developments.

Leaf layer formation and measurements

Our tribometer has been included in Rail Safety and Standards board protocols for formation and measurement of low adhesion conditions using leaf layers.

We can offer this to test or optimise railhead treatments, as a consultancy service.

RSSB Protocols

GPS

Our latest firmware update introduces GPS, for geolocated results which can be fed into data libraries and adhesion models

Gauge corner

Just around the corner!

We’ve been working on this for a while. In other tribometer technology the wheel is not always perpendicular to the rail surface which introduces creepage errors.

Our new system is designed for accurate, repeatable measurements in all rail positions.

Friction measurement trolley

Continuous, geolocated friction measurements?

It’s going to be a gamechanger!

Widespread adoption of friction testing for more informed decisions on friction management
