Enhanced Safety for RailwaysOur derailment switches provide essential rail safety, allowing operators to direct runaway cars away from mainline tracks in emergencies. Manual operation ensures immediate response while robust padlock provision helps prevent unauthorized switching. The high-visibility yellow finish adds an extra layer of operational safety in busy rail yards.
Precision Engineering and DurabilityEngineered using hot rolled, forged, and precision machined technology, our derailing switches withstand severe impacts and demanding railway environments. Corrosion-resistant painting and smooth, deburred surfaces ensure long-lasting service with minimal maintenance. Built for high reliability even under challenging temperatures ranging from -20C to +60C.
FAQs of Derailing Switches:
Q: How is the manual railway derailing switch installed on the track?
A: The manual derailing switch can be mounted using either the clamp type or bolted method, allowing for secure attachment to the railway track. The exact installation approach depends on your track type and operational preferences.
Q: What safety benefits does a derailing switch provide for railway operations?
A: Derailing switches are designed to divert rail cars away from mainline tracks in emergencies, greatly reducing the risk of collisions and protecting lives and infrastructure. The padlock provision further enhances operational security by preventing unauthorized use.
Q: When should the derailing switch be used during railway operations?
A: The derailing switch should be activated in situations where there is a risk of uncontrolled movements or runaway rail vehicles, or during maintenance activities when segments of the track must be isolated for safety reasons.
Q: Where can these switches be applied within railway networks?
A: They are suitable for installation in rail yards, sidings, depot entrances, and other strategic locations where enhanced safety and controlled derailment are critical requirements.
Q: What is the process for operating this derailing switch?
A: The switch is operated manually using an ergonomic lever. After positioning, it can be locked in place using a padlock for security. The low-maintenance design ensures smooth operation over time with minimal upkeep.
Q: What materials and surface treatments are used to ensure durability?
A: Fabricated from high-grade steel, the derailing switch is hot rolled, forged, and precision machined for strength. It is finished with a corrosion-resistant, yellow paint, and surfaces are deburred for safe handling and longevity.
