This brake shoe is specifically developed for trains and wagons where the clearance between the rail and the chassis is limited. With a profile height of only 65 mm and a dedicated left-hand design, it enables secure fastening of vehicles equipped with low spoilers or snow plows.
-
Low-profile design: A height of 65 mm ensures the shoe clears low vehicle components.
-
Left-hand version: Geometrically designed for an optimal fit on the left-hand rail in the direction of travel.
-
Ergonomic handle: The 500 mm long handle allows for easy placement without reaching under the vehicle.
-
Lightweight: Weighing 5.5 kg, it is convenient to handle during daily securing and shunting tasks.
The product is primarily used for locomotives and passenger coaches where aerodynamic features sit close to the rail. Using this specific left-hand model ensures that the support edge is correctly positioned relative to the wheel.
The long handle increases personnel safety by allowing placement and removal from the side of the vehicle. The brake shoe creates the necessary friction to keep the vehicle stationary during depot stops or stabling.
Thanks to the lightweight construction combined with the reach of the handle, this is an efficient tool in high-turnover environments. The compact form reduces the risk of damage to both personnel and equipment.
