Track uptime doesn’t improve on its own.

HYPERTRAXS® GR8 is already helping routes
reduce failures and stay open longer.

Get boots off ballast and keep your route running.

What is HYPERTRAXS® GR8

Switches and Crossings wear down fast, particularly switch blades and stock rails.

Heavy axle loads, repeated impact, and constant movement take their toll.

You know the result: Inspection. Weld. Repeat. Until full replacement.

That cycle drives track closures, overtime callouts, and operational disruption.

HYPERTRAXS® GR8 is a Network Rail-approved thermal spray coating that slows wear at the source, reducing downtime without changing your switch supplier or process.
