The REJ 1200 advanced, in short REJ 1200 AD, was specifically developed for the heavy-duty transport field.
Different longitudinal movements in the track, e.g. due to temperature changes, may cause damages to the superstructure. In particular at the transitions from one substructure to another, e.g. from the railway embankment to the bridge or from bridge deck to bridge deck, their different longitudinal movements cannot be sufficiently compensated by the superstructure. This is where rail expansion joints REJ are used. The REJ 1200 advanced, in short REJ 1200 AD, was specifically developed for the heavy-duty transport field. It is based on the rail extension joints type BWG, especially the REJ 1200 with its 1200 mm (± 600 mm) extension length, which are in use since many years, but it has been enhanced in such a way that it is now possible to pass it with axle loads of up to 30 t without problems.
