Rail Industry Component:
Rails Co.: Tubular Heater Control

Rails Co.


Rails Company Switch Heater Controls ensure that electric switch heaters operate efficiently and dependably to keep your switches operating during snow, sleet or icy weather. Control panels are available in either standard or custom designs. The controls may be dispatcher operated or equipped for automatic operation with Rails Snow Detectors. The system may also incorporate rail temperature limit controls to reduce power consumption. Each panel is a complete, pre-wired and tested package designed for easy installation and servicing. Heavy gauge, weather-tight steel or fiberglass enclosures provide protection from the most rugged weather conditions. Controls are available for any Rails Company switch heater, AC or DC, in all voltages; for new installations or as a retrofit to an existing location. Panels can be remotely located to eliminate trackside vibration.
