Todays heavier and longer railroad vehicles require a different approach to facility protection. In response, we now offer the HBXS and WCX products. The Model HBXS and Crowder together, incorporate the bi-directional capabilities of our earlier designs, but add significant length to the derailing block to ensure that todays heavier equipment is safely derailed. The longer derail block and crowder blade provide a bi-directional derail with a deflection angle similar to our single directional derails.
Deflection angle is critical to the effective function of any derail device.
They can be used with our Delectric, WCHT-72, Eldo or Solar Tech Power Derail Operators. The HBXS is manufactured in sizes to fit todays most popular rail sections.
