Urbis Schréder lights up Rail Live

Kate Pickard talks about how Urbis Schréder shared its expertise with the industry at Rail Live.

At Schréder, we are a global leader in LED lighting solutions and at the forefront of the rail lighting sector; we have expert knowledge and a wealth of experience – recently creating our national rail hub in our Leeds office, which was expertly driven by Joe Brook, Regional Solutions Manager.

On the 22 and 23 June we attended Rail Live at The Long Marsten Innovation Rail Centre in Warwickshire. Our team had a great time meeting existing and new customers and building relationships within the rail sector.  Not to mention they were lucky with the weather. 

We took our marketing vehicle on site allowing us to showcase a number of our products that are tailored to the rail industry. Including our SCULP range for architectural lighting, INDUFLOOD for High Masts plus one of our PHAROS bollards and the SHUFFLE set for security allowing victors to interact with each other through the intercom.

We also took along a section of our ALINEA handrail and our new ALINEA ANTICLIMB handrail, which was put through its paces over the two days with our IK test rig we had set up outside the display vehicle. If you were there did you get a go?

The ALINEA and  ALINEA ANTICLIMB handrail is great for bridges to historic stairwells, ALINEA can drive footfall providing a safe, pleasant experience for pedestrians. Built seamlessly into brushed or painted 316 stainless steel tubes, it provides a robust, finished solution for more unique pathways. The anti-climb version with its sloping slides discourages climbers from standing on it. 

Performance-wise, the Alinea dominates its competition with both asymmetrical and symmetrical photometries available; you can ensure no light is wasted and the lighting standards are met. 

“It was fantastic to attend such a well turned out event like Rail Live, we had plenty of people interested in our SHUFFLE system, looking at how they can build a bespoke column for their use.  We also had lots of takers on our IK test rig seeing how well our ALINEA handrail stands up to being bashed. We are looking forward to being involved again next year ” Joe Brook, Urbis Schréder.

We have also recently launched our new online brochure and rail site providing you with as much information as you need to make an informed decision.  Of course we treat each customer and project as bespoke and help you to choose the right solutions to create spaces and places that are sustainable and future proof. 

At Schréder we are proud to be a provider to the rail sector and we look forward to working with you as our journey continues.

Let’s get connected.
