Description

Derails are emergency stopping devices when needing to stop a Freight Car or Locomotive. They are 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, and is designed for freight cars and locomotives (4 axles and 6 axles) operating at 10 m.p.h. or less.

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, along with six screw spikes for proper anchoring to ties—the height of the derail above the rail, 2-3/4".

Order Shims necessary for attaching Derails firmly to the track.

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 Item#: 4014-13, Base Plate Accessory. Do not install derails on resin or concrete ties.

Weight 156 lbs. (derail, sign, and holder).
