Secure wagon positioning on grooved rails with precision support bracket
This brake shoe is a tool designed to stop or secure rolling wagons on tracks embedded in street surfaces. By using an integrated bracket that rests in the rail groove, it locks the wheel against the rail and prevents unintended movement.
-
Groove support bracket: The support bracket stabilizes the shoe within the rail groove to prevent lateral displacement.
-
Left-hand version: Geometrically designed to be placed on the left-hand rail in the direction of travel.
-
Adapted for grooved rails: Specifically designed for rail types where the track is flush with the road surface.
-
Manual stop: Acts as a physical barrier for the wheel during shunting and stabling.
This product is used to secure railway vehicles on tracks where the rail is recessed into the ground, known as grooved rail. The brake shoe is placed directly on the rail head and fixed using a bracket that extends into the rail groove.
When the wagon wheel rolls onto the tongue of the shoe, friction is created to slow the vehicle or hold it in place. This makes it suitable for use at loading docks, depots, and industrial sidings.
This specific model is a left-hand version and is not intended for use on tramway rails of types 59R2 or 60R2. It is important to verify the rail profile before use to ensure the bracket fits correctly in the groove.
