CENTRE PIVOT LINERS
Durable and reliable
Tenmat’s proprietary Railko NF21 is the only material specified in all types of freight wagons including coal hopper wagons, oil tankers, salt/silt / aggregate wagons, heavy-duty wagons and tankers for hazardous chemicals. Tenmat’s Railko CPL is recognised as the high-performing, long-lasting replacement for steel and plastic wear parts.
Wagon owners specifically require RAILKO NF due to the added wear protection and extended maintenance cycles, while operators value the safety aspect of extremely durable NF material to avoid disastrous accidents.

- Corrosion and Maintenance Free
No requirement for greasing as the material is self-lubricating, meaning maintenance is only required when the CPL is ready to be replaced.
- Approvals
Various approvals mean parts can be applied to wagons regardless of the borders that they pass through.
- Dimensional Stability (Zero creep)
Stable and reliable material ensuring no requirement for later adjustments or replacements.
