Leading the world in
energy absorption
Oleo hydraulic energy absorption systems are used to dissipate the impact energy supported on a fixed concrete base foundation. These are generally used in conjunction with a 'buffing beam' or 'buffing trolley' to interface with rolling stock. These systems also have the ability to self-reset after impact.
Design advice can be provided in relation to the concrete base foundation.
