Ekoslide is a Czech railway manufacturing company headquartered in Prague with its main production plant in Dalovice. Rebranded in 2015, the company specializes in designing, manufacturing, and distributing its internationally patented elastomer-spring roller systems for railway turnout switch blades.
We are proud to be the exclusive Australian and New Zealand distributor for Ekoslide's patented elastomer-spring roller systems.
๐๐ค๐ข๐ ๐๐๐๐ฉ๐จ
๐น Ekoslide offers a grease-free, spring-loaded roller system designed to support railway switch blades during transition. The system lifts the switch tongue onto rollers during movement, completely eliminating the need for slide plate lubrication.
๐น Product Configurations
Type ๐: A universal application designed for standard railway layouts where the slide plate height is over 25mm.
Type ๐: Specially designed for compact or low-clearance switch layouts where the slide plate height is under 25mm.
Type ๐: Designed for configurations where the unit bolts directly into the switch tongue/blade itself.
๐น Functional Models
โช๏ธSupport Model: Features a single spring-loaded, adjustable roller.
โช๏ธBasic Model: Features two rollers, where the first roller is spring-loaded and adjustable.
โช๏ธMaterial Composition: Built with high-grade stainless steel and heavy-duty elastomer spring blocks to handle closed-tongue positions.
๐น Key Commercial & Operational Benefits
Integrating Ekoslide systems into rail infrastructure delivers immediate environmental and economic returns:
โช๏ธRapid ROI & Longevity: Offers a projected 5-year payback period paired with an exceptionally long 25-year service lifespan.
โช๏ธZero Lubrication: Eliminates ongoing costs for grease, while preventing ballast and dirt contamination.
โช๏ธMechanical Protection: Reduces switching effort and friction, which directly decreases motor wear and energy consumption on switch points.
โช๏ธAll-Weather Resilience: Maintenance-free operation rated to withstand extreme temperature variables from -60ยฐC to +60ยฐC.
โช๏ธRisk Mitigation: Dramatically reduces the manual labor required for track lubrication, significantly lowering trackside safety and manpower risks.
๐นGlobal Presence & Distribution Network
With over 240,000 units operating in track networks spanning more than 30 countries, Ekoslide is a globally proven standard. They utilize an exclusive foreign partner model for regional logistics, installation training, and technical service:
โช๏ธAustralasia: Represented exclusively by us (๐๐๐ฎ ๐๐ค๐ช๐ง๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ก), serving Australia and New Zealand networks to bypass long international freight lead times.
โช๏ธNorth America & Middle East: Partnered long-term (since 2007) with IAT International, Inc., making Ekoslide a standard turnout component for major US and Canadian railroads.
โช๏ธEurope: Heavily adopted as the baseline component standard across the Czech and Slovak national railway networks, alongside private industrial sidings.

The history of Ekoslide spans over four decades, originating from an industrial necessity to solve a severe environmental and mechanical problem on the railways.

Conceived at the Vลesovรก Fuel Combine in the Czech Republic to solve a major issue. Heavy coal dust mixed with traditional switch plate oil, creating a sticky paste that jammed railway switches. Engineers designed a lubrication-free, spring-loaded roller system to counter this.

Officially commercialised under the name ECO-PRODUCTION Vลesovรก. Continuous design refinements over the years reduced the heavy 30 kg prototype down to an efficient 4.5 to 8 kg per unit.

The business rebranded to Ekoslide to match its flagship product and support its global reach, moving its headquarters to Prague while maintaining production in Dalovice.
