Description

DO NOT USE THIS DERAIL if 6-axle locomotives operate on your tracks. Use our Two-Way Locomotive Derails, Item #: 4014-18, or our retractable derail Item #: 4114-11 instead.

When you positively have to stop a freight car or locomotive — Derails are emergency stopping devices designed to guide the wheels of a freight car or locomotive off the rails. OSHA requires that every industrial siding be equipped with a derail to deny locomotive entry before railcars are ready to be removed.

Hinged derails are lifted on and off the rail by hand or with our Derail Lifting Lever. The blue derail sign is separately lifted and lowered by hand. For more convenience consider the Pop-up Sign Holder for either One-Way or Two-Way Derails.

For use on wooden ties. Designed for freight cars and 4-axle locomotives operating at 5 mph or less. Do not use where 6-axle locomotives operate.

CAUTION: Install derails on exposed rail tracks only. For rails, 90-141 lbs./yd. Derails are sized to fit a specific rail height, including the thickness of the tie plate. A blue derail sign and holder are included with the derail. Six screw spikes are also provided for proper anchoring to ties. Height of derail above rail: 2".

Specifications

NOTE: Hinged derail is designed for use on tracks with wooden ties. Use screw spikes (supplied with Aldon Hinged Derails) for proper anchoring of derails to wooden ties. If you have steel ties see #4014-13, Base Plate Accessory. Do not install derails on resin or concrete ties.
