Hand brake applicator/release
The Sidekick from Omni Group Corp. allows rail employees to open coupler
knuckles without entering the rail gauge. With seven extension lengths,
the adjustable, telescoping tool lifts the uncoupling lever and pulls the
knuckle open from the front face or by the hole on top of the knuckle. The
Sidekick also enables employees to apply or release the retainer valve
handle without climbing the car. The Sidekick has been latch tested to
withstand a pulling force of more than 7,000 pounds.
IDC-Connector-Fit Clamp
The 290 Series FIT CLAMP™ from WAGO Corp. offers an insulation
displacement connection within a terminal block. The front entry FIT
CLAMP™ terminal blocks are actuated by introducing a wire, inserting a
screwdriver, and sliding the FIT CLAMP™ toward the wire. Produced in two-,
three-, and four-conductor versions, the FIT CLAMP™ features WAGO CAGE
CLAMP technology. Using the CAGE CLAMP option for field wiring gives a
technician more flexibility in wire size and insulation type.
