Benefits

• Lightweight Skate: The RS-3 is a lighter weight skate (20 lbs) with heavy-duty performance!
• Fabricated from High Strength Steel: Allows the skate’s toe (or tip) to resist wear.
• Versatility: Fits rail heads between 2-1/2″ and 3-1/16″ in width (85-141 lb rail sizes).
• Flared Guide Lugs: Allows skate side (guide) lugs to pass through misaligned rail section joints.
• Sleek Narrow Design: Provides a skate that more easily allows wheel tread to mount the toe (or tip) of skate without exact positioning.
• Reflective Tape: Highly visible from dusk till dawn.

RS-3 Provides Better Performance with Less Weight!

• Prevents flat spots on wheels that can occur as a result of excessive use of hand brakes
• Can slow moving rail cars, or hold standing rail cars, even when on a slight downgrade
• Lightweight yet sufficiently sturdy for flat switching and hump yard applications to control unwanted car movement
• Easily handled by one person, yet are tough and durable enough to meet track yard car handling requirements
