Better roads ... every hour, every day.

Discover our traffic systems.

Roads are the lifelines of every community. They have to be kept

passable at all times— 365 days a year, 7 days a week, 24 hours a day.

Our traffic systems ensure that your community’s transport infrastructure stays
in permanent working order, and what's more: the sophisticated designs of our
shoulder slabs, bases and reflective products and the innovative materials they
are made of, afford optimized road safety and efficiency.

When sustainability is the guiding principle.

Sustainability is a core element of our corporate culture.

This is evident in the materials we use and in our manufacturing processes,
which are powered by an extremely environment-friendly energy mix that
largely excludes fossil fuel consumption.

Environmental protection is a priority in the production process, as evident

in the raw materials we use and our waste avoidance methods.
In line with these practices, we have an ISO 14001 environmental
management system in place.

 Unsurpassed stability
meets lasting
cost-efficiency
Traffic volume, and thus the burden on our roads, increases every year.
Increasing truck traffic poses a major challenge to maintaining roadway
stability. This means rising road maintenance costs and more safety risk.
For road damage poses a dangerous accident hazard.

Safer and more durable: LEFIX® shoulder slabs.

LEFIX® shoulder slabs are effective in stopping this development, as
their design prevents slab loosening, with a stable surface structure
that affords easy steering correction. They reduce road shoulder wear
so less maintenance is required, yielding lower maintenance cost. The
‘rumbling’ sound made when driven over the edge of the road alerts
drivers, enhancing safety.

Abrasion-proof:
Two-layer design
The shoulder slabs have concrete facing
for a smooth, frost-resistant and
abrasion-resistant top surface.

Safety-enhancing: Rumble effect

A grooved profile makes a rumbling noise
when driven over, alerting drivers that they
have reached the edge of the road.

Practical: Interlocking design

Frontal interlocking teeth make the slabs grip
together so they cannot be displaced,
affording easier installation as well.

Attention-seeking: Signaling color

LEFIX® shoulder slabs are also
available with colored facing concrete. The color
does not wear off, ensuring permanent visibility.

Installation guidelines and instructions
NEW CONSTRUCTION
• Lay permanent load-bearing road bed conforming with
applicable road construction regulations and the
requirements for the expected load classes.
• Place the shoulder slabs on a grit bed (5/8) and compact
the plates in with a suitable vibratory plate compactor.
• When laying the shoulder slabs on a concrete sub-base
(min. C20/25 and suitable exposure class), make sure that
the shoulder slabs are fully bedded. Back-end support
is to be created (min. thickness 15 cm). To ensure a good
grip to the finished element, the base and back-end
support concrete must not already be set at the time
of installation.
• The road surface (bituminous wearing course,
concrete pavement, etc.), must be applied flush with
the shoulder slabs.
• A joint width of 3-5 mm must be maintained between the
shoulder slabs. Do not lay the slabs too close together.
The joints must be filled with suitable permanently elastic
material (no mortar jointing) to eliminate any plant
growth and ensure better slab connection and grip.
i
General information on laying and installation
• Suitable tools (BG lifting grab, vacuum lifting device, etc.)
and lifting equipment (mobile crane, excavator, etc.)
should be used to lay the shoulder slabs.
• The road surface should be at least 5 mm higher than the
surface of the shoulder slabs where they meet to avoid
mechanical damage (during snow clearing for example)
and ensure water drainage.
REPAIR
• Trim the road edge to create a clean connection line and
be able to properly remove damaged road surface.
• Remove old shoulder material.
• Lay permanent load-bearing road bed conforming with
applicable road construction regulations and the
requirements for the expected load classes.
• When laying the shoulder slabs on a concrete sub-base
(min. C20/25 and suitable exposure class), make sure that
the shoulder slabs are fully bedded. Back-end support
is to be created (min. thickness 15 cm). To ensure a good
grip to the finished element, the base and back-end
support concrete must not already be set at the time
of installation.
• The road surface (bituminous wearing course,
concrete pavement, etc.), must be applied flush with
the shoulder slabs.
• The joints between the cut road edge and the shoulder
slabs must be filled with suitable poured material (poured
asphalt, cold asphalt, etc.). A joint width of 3-5 mm must
be maintained between the shoulder slabs. Do not lay the
slabs too close together. The joints must be filled with
suitable permanently elastic material (no mortar jointing)
to eliminate any plant growth and ensure better slab
connection and grip.
• The reflector post insertion holes must be kept free, and
deepened as required.
• The shoulder slabs widen the roadway while protecting the
road edge near the shoulder. The shoulder slabs should not
be regularly driven on!
• Driving when there is no road surface layer (such as fine
asphalt covering during construction) must not be allowed
so as to prevent the shoulder slabs from being damaged.

 Road shoulders
with safety function
On local road arteries, road shoulders are a sensitive area. The shoulder
damage rate in these areas can be extremely high in certain cases.
High-quality precast concrete elements like LEFIX® shoulder slabs
create the stability required to eliminate these familiar problems.
The shoulder slabs are made of high-density concrete and are resistant to
frost and de-icing salt at a concrete grade of C30/37. The grooved surface
and wedge-shaped profile of the shoulder slabs afford optimal drainage,
avoiding water backflow. The grooves on the surface of the shoulder slabs
also heighten the guidance and warning effect for drivers.

 The right
solution for
long life
The key benefits to using LEFIX® shoulder slabs are better shoulder
support and driveability, economical road repair and safety at road’s
edge. These advantages benefit road users in the area of safety, while
the road maintenance authority benefits from reduced maintenance and
repair requirements, lowering labor cost. For the road operator it is of
great value to know that a safe route is provided for road users.

 Focused on safety:
our bases
for traffic systems.
Safety-relevant traffic elements like reflector posts and traffic signs are exposed to wind
and weather day and night, and other mechanical influences. Accordingly, they require
considerable stability. Our traffic system bases deliver an ideal grip combined with
twisting protection.

Stability and flexibility.

What's more, all systems are very easy to maintain and component replacement is easy
as well without affecting stability. Reflector posts can be inserted and removed extremely
rapidly, and a plastic clip in the traffic sign base makes it extremely easy to install and
remove signs using a tire iron. An ideal combination of safety and efficiency.

Always a fit:
Clips of several sizes
A perfect hold: The plastic clips come in various sizes
Clamp ring to fit all regular tube post diameters.
A clamp ring keeps the traffic sign
