McNICHOLS Co.
McNICHOLS GRIP STRUT running boards, brake steps and end platforms are designed specifically for rail cars. Their unique design provides one of the safest, skid-resistant walking surfaces available in the industry today.
Approved by the Association of American Railroads (AAR), the GRIP STRUT Safety Plate exceeds the Federal anti-slip requirements. It features a serrated surface to grab shoe soles tightly, providing slip-resistance in all directions. Large, diamond-shaped openings help keep snow, ice and mud off the surface to help prevent slippage. Our end platforms and brake steps are a one-piece design which helps prevent breakage or detachment from vibration or impact.
Running boards, brake steps and end platforms are also available with McNICHOLS PERF-O GRIP round hole pattern. This design is light-weight and resilient making it easy to handle and install, as well as provide slip resistance in all directions.
