Lignium-Rail in action

The wooden guardrail for the perfect landscape

In order to meet modern requirements for a combination of aesthetics, environmental protection and traffic safety, the Lignum-Rail system was developed by VR. Lignum Rail offers safety and integrates harmoniously into the landscape.

A continuous metal core is embedded in the wooden beam with a diameter of 180 mm, which is screwed to the post C100. The dynamic deflection and the behaviour during the crash tests are the same as for steel guardrails. Lignum-Rail is available with post distances of 4 m and 2 m. A clever clamping system allows a quick and easy installation. Terminals are available in 4 m length. For environmental reasons, only native pine or larch woods are used. All wooden parts are compregnated and free of maintenance for many years.

Lignum rail with handrail

In areas with permanent pedestrian traffic, the additional installation of handrail guarantees a considerable gain of safety. To achieve the preferable height of 1.20 m, longer posts have to be used. The wooden top railing has a diameter of 120 mm. Available post distances are 4 and 2 m, the latter granting a much higher stability. The handrail is sloped down at the beginning and end of each section in order to stabilize the system and to avoid accidents.
