German term or phrase: Kofferprofil
Dear colleagues,

Could you help me with this term? I'm translating a railway-related text, but I haven't found any usable reference on the internet.

"Beträgt die Schotter-Vorkopfbreite im Tunnel weniger als 80 cm bei gleichzeitiger Ausführung als Kofferprofil, sodass das Gleis seitlich festgehalten ist, kann der Einbau von Sik im Tunnel-Portalbereich entfallen."

Thank you in advance.
