RS-3 Provides Better Performance with Less Weight!
- Prevents flat spots on wheels that can occur as a result of excessive use of hand brakes
- Can slow moving rail cars, or hold standing rail cars, even when on a slight downgrade
- Lightweight yet sufficiently sturdy for flat switching and hump yard applications to control unwanted car movement
- Easily handled by one person, yet are tough and durable enough to meet track yard car handling requirements
FEATURES
