Buffer Stops

Buffer Stops are a vital component of rail infrastructure, playing a key role in protecting passengers, rolling stock, and assets. Oleo’s Buffer Stops are engineered to meet all specification requirements, with solutions tailored to the required energy absorption and available installation space – ensuring optimal performance in every application.

With over 40 years of experience, Oleo is a trusted global partner in buffer stop design and manufacture. As the only manufacturer to produce hydraulic buffers, structural fabrications, and friction shoes in-house, Oleo offers a fully integrated solution that reduces supply chain risk, shortens lead times, and ensures consistent quality.

Through detailed understanding of vehicle masses and rolling stock interfaces, Oleo uses advanced simulation and engineering analysis to optimise buffer stop performance. This enables shorter installation distances and more efficient designs, delivering measurable cost and space savings while minimising project risk and maintaining the highest safety standards.
