Ellcon Model 7900 (AAR Group M), a flat car hand brake, is similar to Model 7600 piggyback flat car brake but normally is installed on the side sills of flat cars at a 30-degree angle, enabling the entire brake to be located below the deck. The Model 7900's 5-inch thickness allows it to remain within the AAR clearance line. This is an AAR-approved hand brake and is used with a sheave only.
