Aldon Spark-Proof Heavy-Duty Urethane Rail Wheel Chock
SPARK-PROOF Urethane Wheel Chocks are tough enough to block a tank car, but resilient enough that the car can be pulled over the chock by a locomotive without derailing.
- For chocking tank cars and other freight cars, loading or unloading hazardous materials and used where a spark from a steel wheel chock could ignite dust or fumes.
- No more trying to yank free a steel chock that is stuck under a wheel. When it’s time to move, just pull the car over the chock and retrieve the chock later.
- Moulded transverse ribbing squeegees out water and dirt from rail surface, to increase holding power.
- Urethane has great resistance to loads with the ability to compress to half of its thickness and then spring back to its original shape.
- Urethane will not degrade from corrosive materials and most chemicals.
- When installed on flush rail the handles are 38mm above the pavement for easy gripping.
WARNINGS!
- For use on flat track only. Do not use chocks on grades.
- Set brake before installing chocks. Rail car or locomotive must be stopped and brakes applied before chocks can be placed.
- Do not use chock if rail car or locomotive is lifted up at one end for inspection or repair.
- Chock both ends of the rail car or locomotive.
- Use on rails 44.6 to 76.9kg/m.
- Minimum wheel diameter 838mm (33”).
- Do not use on oily or greasy rail as chock will slide.
- When rail car is ready to be moved, you may pull car over chocks. They will return to their original shape.
- Replace chocks if urethane is torn or cracked.
