• Offers lower gate travel path height reducing chain interference issues (patent pending design).
• Heavy-duty trolley stop (patent pending design). • Heavier gear design.
• Replacement Pin, Bushing and Shoulder Nut.
- No more attempting to repair broken or bent bolts to correct angle.
- Replacement Pin design assures proper angle and position every time. - Bushing and nut set spacing eliminates over tightening bolt issues.
- Pin replacement, easy as replacing a bolt.
- Pin and Bushing combination increases strength.
• Switching mechanism has fewer parts than the competition.
• Switching uses easier up and down motion to change gates — eliminates side-to-side motion to change gates.
• Heavy guards protect linkages against trolley damage.
• Stainless steel turnbuckle design on adjusting arm.
Divert Switches:
4,000 pound rating
(Air or Hydraulic Options)
• Stronger one piece Cylinder Mounting Arm Bracket.
• New cleaner spring location.
• Stainless steel cylinders air or hydraulic.
• Gate design improves weight transfer throughout the entire switch.
Rails:
• Rails are water jet cut using T1 steel which increases strength and improves wear resistance.
• Water jet cutting allows an increase in the amount of material under the gate pocket as well as accurate duplication of parts.
• HERCULESTM = 1-3/4 inches – Industry Standard = 1-1/4 inches.
• Heavier Gates – increased gate dimension due to cutting the parts out of plate steel instead of using standard 2-1/2" meat rail.
• HERCULESTM Gate 1-1/2 inches. • Industry Standard Gate 1-1/4 inches.
Bridge/Uprights:
• 1 inch x 2-1/2 inch upright dimension.
• Uprights clock into rail for accurate line up and stronger welds — allowing weld on both sides of rail. The industry standard design uses a face weld on one side only.
• Bolt on bridge design matches up for true placement. - Wider bolt pattern increases strength.
- Lower flange design places bolts below beam.
- Flange design gives clean welding surface.
