Couple into our industry-standard locomotive style AAR coupler and connect the air hose. Within seconds you are moving railcars with controlled precision and without the loss of pulling capacity when coupled directly to an empty railcar.
Our competitors have to lift up the adjoining railcar by the coupler to borrow weight in order to hit their tractive effort numbers. Shuttlewagon does not. We pull with the weight of our machine and the traction of our rubber tires on the rail. Therefore, there is no reduction in pulling capacity when coupled to an empty car.
One of the key benefits of a Shuttlewagon equipped with rubber tires is the unbeatable traction it offers. Rubber tires form a strong grip on the rails, reducing the chance of slippage and providing excellent control during the movement of railcars.
Traditional steel wheels simply can’t compete with the frictional advantage of rubber tires, particularly under challenging conditions like wet or uneven tracks. The superior traction ensures you can continue your operations smoothly, minimizing costly delays and inefficiencies.
