A compact chocking skate for locomotives on level exposed track. Its 17-1/2-inch length suits locations where a portable skate is needed. The low, four-inch handle clears wheel frames and brake-shoe obstructions.
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.
- Move the wheel onto the skate slowly, then apply the brakes. For locomotives, apply both air and hand brakes; the skate alone will not hold the locomotive steady.
- A steel wheel chock may be needed at the opposite end.
- Product weight: 12 lb.
