A ZefTek customer needed to further the long-term utilization of its large inventory of railcars. ZefTek's challenge was to securely conceal holes in the car decks without adding significant weight, increasing labor costs or adding to the potential for future maintenance.

Utilizing a new proprietary rubber/plastic composite material, ZefTek engineers developed and delivered complete prototypes of a lightweight, durable cover designed to keep out debris and provide 30 years of maintenance-free service. Within only 10 days, our strength of innovation and responsiveness helped this company leverage their current assets to satisfy the needs of their customers for years to come.
