The Specialised Force Customised RAIL STOP/CHOCK products provide innovative and flexible options for a variety of Rail Stop/Chock applications across multiple industries and numerous Rail Gauges and types (e.g. Freight/Passenger rail lines, Crane Rail lines, etc). Typical design and operational characteristics of the Customised Rail Stop/Chock Products include:
- Products can be designed to suit multiple Rail profiles and types, and intended for use on relatively level Rail lines at low Vehicle/Structure velocities.
- Rail Stop/Chock units can be designed to accommodate high levels of instantaneous Impact force (e.g. 8 Mega Newtons) depending on the design, with customised designs verified through the use of the latest engineering design and/or validation techniques (e.g. Finite Element Analysis (FEA)).
- Made from high strength lightweight Aluminium Alloy for ease of handling and Transport.
- The Products incorporate built-in M12 eye bolt anchor points for the connection of suitable Lifting/Handling/Transporting Aids.
- The Customised Rail Stops/Chocks are designed to allow component manual handling as each component has been designed to be less than 20kg. This can facilitate the assembly/installation of these products on relevant Rail Profiles with one to two people for permanent or temporary application requirements. Simply position and fit the Stop/Chock halves, apply the necessary bolts/nuts and tighten to the predefined Torque settings. As such, no drilling of the Rail is necessary to secure the Stop/Chock.
- Repeated significant impacts may weaken the Stop/Chock, therefore routine Inspection/ Verification activities may be required following such collision events to ensure the functionality and structural integrity of the Stop/Chock is verified.
