Question: Are Polysafe panels compatible with old Bomac panels?

Answer: Yes. In many level crossings Polysafe and Bomac panels can be seen side by side. Although there are design improvements built into the Polysafe panels they are basically the same dimensions - so patch replacement is straightforward (please note that Bomac rubber wedges do not fit Polysafe panels and vice versa - please contact our sales team for further advice). Polysafe panels can also be placed adjacent to rubber level crossing panels if, for instance, traffic volumes have increased demanding a heavier duty product but the budget for a full level crossing deck is not available. IAs an example Polysafe panels can be used in the cess and 6 foot whilst retaining rubber level crossing panels in the 4 foot.
