KLP® Bridge Transoms
KLP® Hybrid Polymer Sleepers: High-quality ductile polymer, reinforced with steel. Strong, stable, sustainable, recyclable.
KLP Transoms Type 204
Millable transom Type 401
KLP Transoms Type 204
Features
- Manufactured from 100% recycled polymers
- Can be 100% recycled
- Low thermal expansion – due to steel reinforcing (maintains gauge)
- Steel provides abiliity to handle large bending moments (offset loads)
- Polymer absorbs impact and noise
- Excellent chemical resistance
- Does not rot and decay
- Environmentally friendly – low CO2 footprint
- Non-toxic content
- Handling – same equipment as for timber
- Virtually maintenance free
- Low Life Cycle cost – Design life of 50 years+
- Drilling or cutting – same tools as for timber
- No special respiratory PPE required – contains no glass fibres
Suitable for both offset and non-offset bridge construction
Dimensions
- Lengths between 2000mm to 3000mm
- Heights between 150mm to 210mm
- Width 250mm or 260mm
Load capacities will vary dependent on the bridge structure – design checks to be requested

Dimensions
- Lengths between 2000mm to 3000mm
- Heights between 150mm to 210mm
- Width 250mm or 260mm
There is an additional 30mm of polymer below the steel that can be milled to achieve the desired height. This allows for any sag in structures to be compensated for, allowance for rivet heads, cant etc.
Load capacities will vary dependent on the bridge structure – design checks to be requested.
