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, it enables secure fastening of vehicles equipped with low spoilers or snow plows.
-
Low-profile design: A height of 65 mm ensures compatibility with modern low-clearance vehicles.
-
Ergonomic handle: The 500 mm long handle allows for easy placement without reaching under the vehicle.
-
Single support edge: Equipped with one support edge for stable positioning against the wheel.
-
Lightweight: Weighing only 5.5 kg, it is easy to carry and handle during long work shifts.
The product is primarily used for locomotives and passenger coaches where aerodynamic features or obstacles sit close to the rail. Using this low-profile model prevents damage to the vehicle bodywork when securing the wheels.
The long handle increases personnel safety by allowing placement from a safe distance at 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 yet durable form ensures long-term reliability in daily operations.
