Elevator

Oleo has a complete range of elevator buffers for every application offering a high quality product with minimum life-cycle costs. Our elevator buffers are sold worldwide offering exceptional performance across a wide mass and speed range. Oleo buffers have worldwide certification and approvals which include EN81.1, ASME17.1 GB7588, EK1002.

Elevator

Buffer Stops

Many passenger and freight locations are terminal [end of line] situations, on the rare occasions the train fails to stop or slow down sufficiently the risk is that it collides with or overrides the end of the platform/line.

Fitting efficient and effective buffer stop systems will protect passengers, rolling stock and infrastructure in the event of a train failing to stop.

Buffer Stops

Industrial

Oleo's industrial energy absorption solutions offer products and services for dockside applications, steelworks, rail infrastructure, and other specialist bespoke applications. Oleo has a presence in all major ports worldwide and with its network of distributors, can offer a complete consultancy service including after sales service.

Industrial

Rail

Rail safety awareness and regulations are increasing for the protection of passengers and rolling stock. In addition, there is a need to have higher coupling speeds and a greater amount of recoverable impact energy absorption to reduce life cycle costs.

Rail crash tests are not usually feasible and Oleo offer the unique combination of crash energy management simulations correlated with impact energy absorption devices.

Rail
