Railway Technology - Train Stop Systems
Official Partner of Klose GMBHKlose GmbH was established on the 1st of March, 2005 in Westerkappeln. Their business field includes the design, planning and calculation of rail end blocks, including delivery and installation, as well as the preparation and maintenance of existing constructions.
The new patented buffer stop designs have been tested by DB AG in accordance with the latest regulations and correspondingly approved by the Federal Railway Authority. The mostly standardised designs have been developed on the basis of the owner’s more than 20 years of experience in the field of railway and rail end block technology.

What we can do
Rail end blocks are safety devices at the end of a track, such as, for instance, in dead-end stations, holding sidings and sorting sidings, or loading installations and repair tracks. Their task, as a protection device in accordance with the technical directives and regulations of the railway companies, is to
- Prevent derailing of vehicles
- To buffer and brake the impact of vehicles caused by human error or technical failure
- To protect objects behind the end of tracks
- To prevent or limit possible damage and, as a result
- To improve the availability of the railway system (breakdown/failure of vehicles, settlement of damages, etc).
Usually, straight-forward circumstances only require simple designs, e.g. rigid or hinged scotch blocks in the maintenance shop. Special situations, conditions of use and safety requirements often require the use of special designs.
