A rail track crossing comprising a support element (29) associated with each rail (11) of a rail track and configured to be supported from a sleeper (13) whereby the support element extends to each side of each rail, the support element having an engagement portion (31) which is to be at each side of the respective rail, a set of panels comprising a pair of lateral panels (37) and a central panel (39) wherein the central panel is to he received between the rails and supported upon the support elements and to be engaged by the engagement portions, the lateral panels being intended to be located to the sides of the rail track to be engaged with the engagement portion located at the respective side, wherein when the lateral panels and the central panel are in position upper surfaces jointly provide a substantially continuous surface across the rail track.
A rail track crossing comprising a support element associated with each rail of a rail track and configured to be supported from a sleeper whereby the support element extends to each side of each rail, the support element having an engagement portion which is to be at each side of the respective rail, a set of panels comprising a pair of lateral panels and a central panel wherein the central panel is to be received between the rails and supported upon the support elements and to be engaged by the engagement portions, the lateral panels being intended to be located to the sides of the rail track to be engaged with the engagement portion located at the respective side, wherein when the lateral panels and the central panel are in position their upper surfaces jointly provide a substantially continuous surface across the rail track.
A rail track crossing comprising a pair of lateral supports which in use are to be located such that one is to be located to each side of the rail track in spaced relation from the sleepers, a pair of support elements associated with each rail and configured to be supported from the sleeper to each side of the respective rail, the support element and having an engagement portion which is to be at each side of the respective rail, a set of panels comprising a pair of lateral panels and a central panel wherein the central panel is to be received between the rails and supported upon the support elements to engage the engagement portions, the lateral panels being intended to be located to one or the other side of the rail track between the lateral support and most proximate rail and to be engaged with the most proximate engagement portion, wherein when the lateral panels and the central panel are in position their upper surfaces jointly provide a substantially continuous surface across the rail track.
A rail track crossing as claimed at claimed 6 wherein each lateral support is provided with an engagement portion which is intended to be engaged with the respective lateral panel.
A rail track crossing as claimed at claimed 6 wherein a plurality of support elements are provided to be supported on sleepers located in spaced relation along the portion of the length of the rail track associated with the rail track crossing.
