G&B Specialties Inc., a Global Railway Industries Company, says its Rafna high-quality railgear is designed as rugged products that are easy to operate and will transfer a vehicle from road-to-rail quickly and easily. Model R150 is designed for installation on light pick-up trucks and utility vehicles up to 6,500 pounds GVWR. The combined front and rear weight is 550 pounds. The 8-inch lightweight cast steel wheels have heavy-duty tapered roller bearings, the front unit is available in either rotating or vertical models, and the rotating rear units are standard. Automatic locking of the railgear is standard in both the highway and on-rail position. Hydraulic check valves on the front vertical units are designed to provide safety in the rail travel position. The Model 290 is designed to reduce vibration through the vehicle frame providing superior ride quality and less component stress and constant wheel-rail contact through its proven “Cushion-Ride” suspension, the company says. The railgear is powered by a 12 VDC hydraulic pump and reservoir complete with a weather-tight toggle switch control or optional in-cab controls. The railgear is designed for easy installation on vehicles up to 12,500 pounds GVWR.
