Rail Industry Component:
Western-Cullen-Hayes Inc.: Cushion Wheel Stops

Western-Cullen-Hayes Inc.


Western-Cullen-Hayes engineered the Type SF wheel stop to stop cars, not just wheels. Cushion plus friction absorbs shock in the wheel stop, not in center-pin of the car. SF cushions demanding shock in resident ballast, employing the car's weight for additional braking friction on rail. Features include a universal fit; all-welded steel construction; only four bolts for installation of each pair; and there are no holes to be drilled.
