24 years of experience

A rail DNA

Creators of the actual rail switch heating system with self-regulating cables in 1996, 24 years and 4000 installations on all types of switches allow RC2R a unique and incomparable knowledge for our customers.

a unique experience of more than 20 years in the rail market

Specialist of self-regulating heating system for rail

Privileged partnership with the best self-regulating cable manufacturer, RC2R designed a system specifically adapted to rail environments and rail switch heating. Each component used by RC2R was designed, tested and validated for rail environments including strict field-tests.

strict field-tests

Unique knowledge

RC2R is able to support each rail network in their snow and ice problematic. From the first idea to the final design, from the first field-test to the final technical expertise to create rail technical specifications and team installation training, RC2R is a unique dedicated partner.

a real unique partner from first design to installation

Simple and efficient

No complicated control / command system needed. A simple external temperature sensor is enough to pilot our RC2R heating system. Our self-regulating cables are doing the rest, adapting their power according to the external conditions (snow, wind, rain, sun, etc.).

RC2R systems allow some substantial savings while improving significantly the global reliability of the rail networks.
