  • Lengths up to 20 feet

  • Custom Holes included (shop drawing required)

  • High Performance Bearing Pad Material

  • Shock Pads

Our founder Nelson Moses came up with this concept in 1937. While the concept is the same, the material has evolved into a highly engineered ROF (randomly-oriented-fiber) rubber, also known as masticated rubber. Our pads are on every class one system in the United States and also in Chicago and New York City Transits. 

  • High Shear Strength prevents pads from “wiggling” out 

  • High Tensile  Strength (1050 psi) provides toughness under speed 

  • 25% max compression set at 70 degrees C 

  • Prevents the tie plate from cutting into the tie, creating longer tie life 

  • Used on bridges and in-line rail
