R-650 Railgear

Description:

G & B Specialties Model R-650 railgear is designed for vehicles up to 39,000 lbs GVWR. Both rotating and vertical front railgear units are available. Rotating rear railgear is standard. The R-650 uses 12” diameter cast or forged steel wheels with heavy duty tapered roller bearings. Proven “CushionRide” suspension provides ride quality, reduced vibration through the vehicle frame, less component stress, and constant rail wheel to rail contact. No railgear adjustments are required for varying loads. With Rafna Cushion-Ride Railgear, there are no limits imposed. If the vehicle can support the load, so can the railgear. The Rafna R650 Railgear has two hydraulic cylinders on both the front and rear units, providing power to spare under full vehicle capacity. On rail, the vehicle’s front wheels are raised a minimum of 3” above the rail head and the vehicle axle is hydraulically or manually locked in place, and all four rail wheels provide full track circuit isolation.
