A standard-duty flat-top rail skate for slowing one freight car at a time on level exposed track.
Features and application limits
- For exposed rail only; rail sizes 90–155 lb/yd.
- Minimum wheel diameter: 28 in.
- Do not use on grades. Keep the rail clean; grease can allow uncontrolled sliding.
- Keep workers and bystanders well clear of the sides and front of the vehicle: wheel pressure can eject a skate with substantial force.
- Do not use when one end of the vehicle is raised; all wheels must remain on the rails. Replace a skate with a broken or curled tongue.
- Maximum movement speed: 1–2 mph.
- For added security, use two skates on opposite rails, staggered several yards apart. Provide an alternative means of stopping if a skate is displaced or does not stop the vehicle.
- Apply car brakes once stopped; a steel chock may also be needed at the other end.
- Product weight: 19 lb.
Use the current manufacturer instructions and your facility’s procedures for installation, inspection and operation. Ask us to confirm the selected model against your application.
