Statistically there are over 3000 railroad accidents per year as documented by the FRA (Federal Railway Administration) whose job it is to: promulgate and enforce rail safety regulations; conduct research and development in support of improved railroad safety and national rail transportation policy. The frequent causes of accidents listed in the FRA reports include (category #T109) such as Track alignment irregularities, (Category # T308) of disconnected worn or broken rail stock (category #T206) Defective/missing rail fasteners are all areas of concern where DISC-LOCK products can improve railroad safety.

U.S. railways, are always looking to improve railroad safety and lower costs, and use the FRA approved DISC-LOCK Railcar Fastening System. This Rapid Tension System has built in tensioning parameters thereby creating the most reliable connection at the lowest cost. The Rapid Tension System does NOT rely on installation equipment or the proficiency of the operator. Increased reliability comes from the fact that the railroad Rapid Tension bolts have a preset tension and do not require tool calibration thus eliminating operator error. Most importantly DISC-LOCK Locking Nuts cannot vibrate loose in high vibration areas that exist on the railcars and railroad tracks.

DISC-LOCK Rapid Tension Systems for railroad use and the related Technical Specifications, MSDS sheets, Pricing, Video Demonstrations and Ordering Information are available at www.DISC-LOCK.com
