Urethane Railcar Chocks

Urethane Railcar Chocks designed specifically for tank cars and other freight cars loading or unloading hazardous materials, and where a spark from a steel wheel chock could ignite dust or fumes. Our 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. 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. Works on all train rails from 75lb/yd to 141lb/yd and wheel diameters 28″ – 44″.

A New Type of Railcar Chock

Designed specifically for tank cars and other freight cars loading or unloading hazardous materials, and where a spark from a steel wheel chock could ignite dust or fumes. Urethane is truly the Miracle Material — combining 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.

Molded transverse ribbing squeegees out water and dirt from rail surface, to increase holding power.

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. 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.

Steel Railcar Wheel Chocks

Our cast steel railcar wheel chocks have heat-treated spurs to prevent slipping. To extend product life, they can be turned to provide three new, sharp edges, and they can also be easily replaced. OSHA railcar regulations require that a wheel chock be in place before a train’s railcar can be safely worked on, and our wheel chocks are designed to meet those requirements, including OSHA regulations 1910.110(15), 1910.11(13) and 1910.110(A) (5).

Brake Stick – 24″ to 42″

Flanges

Midland Bottom Outlet Valves can be mounted on a universal flange that is installed on the tank car. For optimum performance, the flange must be clear of any nicks, burrs, grit, paint, coatings or any other residue on the surface. A thread sealant, such as Loctite, may be needed during installation.

Sightglass Flange

The Liquip BF4-SG-25Z Sightglass Flange is a 100-mm (4”) Truck Trailer Manufacturers Association (TTMA)-approved sightglass flange that fits behind an API adaptor and Liquip butterfly valve to show if product is present and its color to confirm accurate product identification.

Offset Cage for Gangways

The G4 Series Offset Cage offers another level of safety with an extra lower tapered railing. It arrives fully assembled and features flared and tapered rungs that give the lid a full range of motion while the equipment is in the working position. The design also ensures that the gangway and cage won’t have any interference when the equipment is lowered on top of the truck.

  • Reduced Failure – With one-piece stair design reduces welds & failure/repair costs

  • Increase Vehicle Protection – With rubber bumpers at gangway / vehicle contact point.

  • Increased working area – Elongated last tread provides increased work area at the end of gangway

  • Wide Range of Materials – Construction material choices are – aluminum, galvanized or stainless steel

Safety is locked in. For operators in the field, it’s becoming a common practice to raise and reposition gangways from the top of railcars or trucks when the hatch interferes. This extremely dangerous habit has increased the risk of operator falls. With the G4 Gangway/Cage Lock-down Assembly, your gangway stays securely in place at all times. Only when the operator returns to the platform can they release the lock, keeping the gangway from being raised until they’re safely out of the work area.

Emergency Drench Showers and Safety Eyewash Stations

Our emergency drench showers and portable eyewash stations are offered with mounting brackets to easily fit within your existing platform system and provide a wash station near the source of potential hazards.

EMERGENCY EYEWASHES / SHOWER EQUIPMENT AND THE ANSI/ISEA Z358.1 – 2014 STANDARD

Are you aware that ANSI guidelines state that Eye Wash/Drench Showers need to be located 10 seconds or 55’ from contaminates or hazardous materials? And they should be on the same horizontal plane, with no obstructions? Long or short! And if bottom loading/unloading and additional shower should be located at grade as well.

While ANSI/ISEA Z358.1 is considered a voluntary standard, OSHA often uses it as a guide when inspecting facilities. As a result, this standard has gained significant importance within in the safety industry; and, by not complying with the standard, OSHA may elect to impose site penalties.

In addition, these units must dispense tepid water. Tepid is defined as “A flushing fluid temperature conductive to promoting a minimum 15-minute irrigation period @ 60 to 100 degrees F (16-38 degrees C)”. Generally, temperatures higher than 100 degrees F may cause chemical interactions with the skin and cause further damage, and at 60 degrees and

Railroad Signs and Signals

Our HEADS UP railcar motion sensor attaches magnetically to the bearing cap freight car wheels. If the wheel turns more than 20 degrees, two flashing amber lights provide visual warning and the battery-powered twin sirens emit a 105-decibel warning. The sirens and lights will remain active until they’re manually shut off.

End-of-Car Warning Signaler

Our End-of-Car Warning Signaler mounts in the hole on the car coupler head, and any movement of the car causes an amber lens to emit a 1-million-candle-power flash 60-90 times per minute. At the same time, a horn sounds a powerful pulsing beep (97 decibels at 4 feet). The flashing light and sound continue for 4 to 5 minutes after the car stops. If any further movement occurs, the signals both resume.

The device comes ready to use and includes a rechargeable 12-volt battery with a 10-hour operating range (a low-battery indicator is included).

“Heads Up” Railcar Motion Detector

This innovative Railcar Motion Detector makes your railcar as safe as your forklifts by giving workers a clear warning if a car starts to move. The ‘HEADS UP’ attaches magnetically to the bearing cap of any freight car wheel and warns workers that a rail car is moving. If the wheel turns more than 10 degrees in either direction, the battery-powered sensor emits a powerful 90 db two-tone warble. The siren has a baffle to moderate the sound level, as well as an illuminated on-off switch.

The NEMA-4X housing is rain- and dust-proof, and all hardware is corrosion-resistant.

Railcar Derail Systems

  • SaberTooth™ One- and Two-Way Derailing
  • Protection When and Where You Need It
  • Meet Current Clearance Requirements

SafeRack offers one-way and two-way derailing from SaberTooth for industrial siding and approaches to buildings. The portable derails stand 2.75 inches above top of rail to meet current railroad locomotive clearance requirements. They’ve been tested at the Transportation Tech Center in Pueblo, Colorado, where a one-way derail derailed a 6-axle locomotive at 6.2 mph and a two-way derail derailed a 100-ton loaded hopper car at 5.1mph.

DR-5 Double-End Type

The DR-5 derails in both directions. Its dual step bars butt against ties to secure the derail. A set screw adjusts the derail fit to various rail sizes, and a clamp assembly accepts a padlock. At 50 pounds, it fits rails between 100-136#/yd. A sign & holder is included.

Improved Design

A tie-biting hook prevents the derail from sliding in the event a tie brace notch slips off the tie plate. The hook remains trapped between two ties during derailing. Installation can be performed without tools, as the four stainless-steel thumbscrews eliminate the need for wrenches. The device will not cause damage to rail surfaces.

SaberTooth Derails

Blue sign and holder are included with derails (red or orange signs are available). The derails are designed for rails 90 pounds and above that have wooden ties and tie spacing between 18-24 inches. The device will work for freight cars and all sizes of locomotives. It weighs 35 lbs.

Railcar Chocks and Blocks

Railcar Chocks are an important safety item in any rail yard or repair facility, and SafeRack’s railcar wheel chocks provide fast blocking of all types of railcars. Choose from cast steel railcar wheel chocks, rail-clamping wheel blocks the newly introduced urethane railcar wheel chocks… all of which provides worker safety and meets OSHA regulations to safely prevent railroad cars from moving during loading or unloading operations, including OSHA regulations 1910.110(15), 1910.11(13) and 1910.110(A) (5).

Idle Railcar on Storage Track and Railcar Being Worked

Double Chocks on each end of the car provide two-chock blocking against movement in either direction.

Railcar on Slope or Hill

Do not use wheel chocks. Use rail skids or car stops instead.

Railcar Being Worked – Slight Dip

On uneven track if the car tends to roll in one direction, single chocks on the foremost wheel of both wheel sets may be sufficient.

Multiple Railcar Chocking Procedures

Use double chocks. On flat track, where a line of rail cars remain coupled together, and are moved forward progressively to be loaded/unloaded: Brake and chock the car to be worked (chock both ends of the car). It may be necessary to brake and chock several cars behind the car to be worked depending on your operating conditions. When the first car is ready to be moved, remove the chocks and release the brakes on both cars. Move cars forward and repeat the braking and chocking procedure. If cars are uncoupled to be worked separately, brake and chock each car.

Railcar Wheel Chocks OSHA regulations

OSHA mandates the use of wheel chocks in addition to car brakes wherever rail cars are being worked, loaded or unloaded.

A gust of wind is enough to cause a 260,000 pound freight car to start rolling. Thanks to roller bearings, freight car wheels offer very little resistance to movement. In fact, the contact area of each wheel on the rail is smaller that the size of a dime. This is why moving heavy loads by rail is so efficient! But at the same time, all this mass, so easily moved, needs to be securely blocked while the car is being worked.

Loading freight cars increases the strain on the car brakes. Liquid pouring into a tank car or a forklift moving back and forth in a boxcar create dynamic forces which can overcome the holding power of the brakes.

Slack in mechanical car brakes can be enough to allow a wheel to move forward a few inches and dislodge a dock board or strain a hose line

Urethane Railcar Chocks

Urethane Railcar Chocks designed specifically for tank cars and other freight cars loading or unloading hazardous materials, and where a spark from a steel wheel chock could ignite dust or fumes. Our 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. 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. Works on all train rails from 75lb/yd to 141lb/yd and wheel diameters 28″ – 44″.

A New Type of Railcar Chock

Designed specifically for tank cars and other freight cars loading or unloading hazardous materials, and where a spark from a steel wheel chock could ignite dust or fumes. Urethane is truly the Miracle Material — combining 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.

Molded transverse ribbing squeegees out water and dirt from rail surface, to increase holding power.

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. 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.

Steel Railcar Wheel Chocks

Our cast steel railcar wheel chocks have heat-treated spurs to prevent slipping. To extend product life, they can be turned to provide three new, sharp edges, and they can also be easily replaced. OSHA railcar regulations require that a wheel chock be in place before a train’s railcar can be safely worked on, and our wheel chocks are designed to meet those requirements, including OSHA regulations 1910.110(15), 1910.11(13) and 1910.110(A) (5).

Brake Stick – 24″ to 42″

Offset Cage for Gangways

The G4 Series Offset Cage offers another level of safety with an extra lower tapered railing. It arrives fully assembled and features flared and tapered rungs that give the lid a full range of motion while the equipment is in the working position. The design also ensures that the gangway and cage won’t have any interference when the equipment is lowered on top of the truck.

  • Reduced Failure – With one-piece stair design reduces welds & failure/repair costs

  • Increase Vehicle Protection – With rubber bumpers at gangway / vehicle contact point.

  • Increased working area – Elongated last tread provides increased work area at the end of gangway

  • Wide Range of Materials – Construction material choices are – aluminum, galvanized or stainless steel

Safety is locked in. For operators in the field, it’s becoming a common practice to raise and reposition gangways from the top of railcars or trucks when the hatch interferes. This extremely dangerous habit has increased the risk of operator falls. With the G4 Gangway/Cage Lock-down Assembly, your gangway stays securely in place at all times. Only when the operator returns to the platform can they release the lock, keeping the gangway from being raised until they’re safely out of the work area.

Emergency Drench Showers and Safety Eyewash Stations

Our emergency drench showers and portable eyewash stations are offered with mounting brackets to easily fit within your existing platform system and provide a wash station near the source of potential hazards.

EMERGENCY EYEWASHES / SHOWER EQUIPMENT AND THE ANSI/ISEA Z358.1 – 2014 STANDARD

Are you aware that ANSI guidelines state that Eye Wash/Drench Showers need to be located 10 seconds or 55’ from contaminates or hazardous materials? And they should be on the same horizontal plane, with no obstructions? Long or short! And if bottom loading/unloading and additional shower should be located at grade as well.

While ANSI/ISEA Z358.1 is considered a voluntary standard, OSHA often uses it as a guide when inspecting facilities. As a result, this standard has gained significant importance within in the safety industry; and, by not complying with the standard, OSHA may elect to impose site penalties.

In addition, these units must dispense tepid water. Tepid is defined as “A flushing fluid temperature conductive to promoting a minimum 15-minute irrigation period @ 60 to 100 degrees F (16-38 degrees C)”. Generally, temperatures higher than 100 degrees F may cause chemical interactions with the skin and cause further damage, and at 60 degrees and

Railroad Signs and Signals

Our HEADS UP railcar motion sensor attaches magnetically to the bearing cap freight car wheels. If the wheel turns more than 20 degrees, two flashing amber lights provide visual warning and the battery-powered twin sirens emit a 105-decibel warning. The sirens and lights will remain active until they’re manually shut off.

End-of-Car Warning Signaler

Our End-of-Car Warning Signaler mounts in the hole on the car coupler head, and any movement of the car causes an amber lens to emit a 1-million-candle-power flash 60-90 times per minute. At the same time, a horn sounds a powerful pulsing beep (97 decibels at 4 feet). The flashing light and sound continue for 4 to 5 minutes after the car stops. If any further movement occurs, the signals both resume.

The device comes ready to use and includes a rechargeable 12-volt battery with a 10-hour operating range (a low-battery indicator is included).

“Heads Up” Railcar Motion Detector

This innovative Railcar Motion Detector makes your railcar as safe as your forklifts by giving workers a clear warning if a car starts to move. The ‘HEADS UP’ attaches magnetically to the bearing cap of any freight car wheel and warns workers that a rail car is moving. If the wheel turns more than 10 degrees in either direction, the battery-powered sensor emits a powerful 90 db two-tone warble. The siren has a baffle to moderate the sound level, as well as an illuminated on-off switch.

The NEMA-4X housing is rain- and dust-proof, and all hardware is corrosion-resistant.

Railcar Derail Systems

  • SaberTooth™ One- and Two-Way Derailing
  • Protection When and Where You Need It
  • Meet Current Clearance Requirements

SafeRack offers one-way and two-way derailing from SaberTooth for industrial siding and approaches to buildings. The portable derails stand 2.75 inches above top of rail to meet current railroad locomotive clearance requirements. They’ve been tested at the Transportation Tech Center in Pueblo, Colorado, where a one-way derail derailed a 6-axle locomotive at 6.2 mph and a two-way derail derailed a 100-ton loaded hopper car at 5.1mph.

DR-5 Double-End Type

The DR-5 derails in both directions. Its dual step bars butt against ties to secure the derail. A set screw adjusts the derail fit to various rail sizes, and a clamp assembly accepts a padlock. At 50 pounds, it fits rails between 100-136#/yd. A sign & holder is included.

Improved Design

A tie-biting hook prevents the derail from sliding in the event a tie brace notch slips off the tie plate. The hook remains trapped between two ties during derailing. Installation can be performed without tools, as the four stainless-steel thumbscrews eliminate the need for wrenches. The device will not cause damage to rail surfaces.

SaberTooth Derails

Blue sign and holder are included with derails (red or orange signs are available). The derails are designed for rails 90 pounds and above that have wooden ties and tie spacing between 18-24 inches. The device will work for freight cars and all sizes of locomotives. It weighs 35 lbs.

Railcar Chocks and Blocks

Railcar Chocks are an important safety item in any rail yard or repair facility, and SafeRack’s railcar wheel chocks provide fast blocking of all types of railcars. Choose from cast steel railcar wheel chocks, rail-clamping wheel blocks the newly introduced urethane railcar wheel chocks… all of which provides worker safety and meets OSHA regulations to safely prevent railroad cars from moving during loading or unloading operations, including OSHA regulations 1910.110(15), 1910.11(13) and 1910.110(A) (5).

Idle Railcar on Storage Track and Railcar Being Worked

Double Chocks on each end of the car provide two-chock blocking against movement in either direction.

Railcar on Slope or Hill

Do not use wheel chocks. Use rail skids or car stops instead.

Railcar Being Worked – Slight Dip

On uneven track if the car tends to roll in one direction, single chocks on the foremost wheel of both wheel sets may be sufficient.

Multiple Railcar Chocking Procedures

Use double chocks. On flat track, where a line of rail cars remain coupled together, and are moved forward progressively to be loaded/unloaded: Brake and chock the car to be worked (chock both ends of the car). It may be necessary to brake and chock several cars behind the car to be worked depending on your operating conditions. When the first car is ready to be moved, remove the chocks and release the brakes on both cars. Move cars forward and repeat the braking and chocking procedure. If cars are uncoupled to be worked separately, brake and chock each car.

Railcar Wheel Chocks OSHA regulations

OSHA mandates the use of wheel chocks in addition to car brakes wherever rail cars are being worked, loaded or unloaded.

A gust of wind is enough to cause a 260,000 pound freight car to start rolling. Thanks to roller bearings, freight car wheels offer very little resistance to movement. In fact, the contact area of each wheel on the rail is smaller that the size of a dime. This is why moving heavy loads by rail is so efficient! But at the same time, all this mass, so easily moved, needs to be securely blocked while the car is being worked.

Loading freight cars increases the strain on the car brakes. Liquid pouring into a tank car or a forklift moving back and forth in a boxcar create dynamic forces which can overcome the holding power of the brakes.

Slack in mechanical car brakes can be enough to allow a wheel to move forward a few inches and dislodge a dock board or strain a hose line
