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

Western-Cullen-Hayes Inc.


Type SG wheel stops utilize the entire rail in stopping a car — not just the rail head. This wheel stop is rigid and suited for stub-end track, where space is limited. The first few impacts set the gripping points into the bottom of the rail base. At the same time, the loop-clamp, positioned against a tie, tilts slightly forward and locks the block securely to the rail. Once it takes a “set” on the rail, it won't budge, the company says. Features include a universal fit, all-welded steel construction, four bolts for installation of each pair, and no holes to drill.
