The intrinsically safe wheel-stop shoe shall be used to prevent uncontrolled movement of railway vehicle at facilities where increased fire safety requirements are imposed.
The intrinsically safe shoe consists of a skid, a support and a handle. It is made of light metal (aluminum), thus it does not cause sparks in contact with the rails and wheel sets of the wagon. The intrinsically safe shoe is installed on the rail under the wheel of the railway vehicle only after it has come to a complete stop.
During operation, it is necessary to inspect the shoes for the cracks that can lead to the separation of the skid, with an interval of min twice a month.
Alfa-ZhAT guarantees the lowest price for aluminum intrinsically safe aluminum wheel chocks.
