Portable Derails & Accessories

The use of derail devices is a deliberate way to stop and manage the movement of railcars and locomotives. Derails are essential in preventing a car from colliding with another, unauthorized coupling of a locomotive to a stationary car, and a car rolling out onto the mainline. According to OSHA, FRA, and DOT regulations, derail protection is mandatory for all operational rail sidings.

The portable derails are available for one-way and two-way derailing for industrial sidings, approaches to buildings, and main line applications.
