Specifications

For Switch Stand Throw Handles

Switch stand throw handles must always be kept padlocked or secured with safety hook, to prevent accidental or unauthorized movement of switch points.

An unsecured switch stand throw handle can leap up with great force if a locomotive enters a switch the wrong way and forces the switch point to change position.

Formed steel hook and stainless chain can be bolted to tie.
