Unitrac carries in stock new and relay joint bars to fit rail sections.
These are usually ordered by the pair.
Track Bolts
Track Spikes
Rail Anchors
Unitrac furnishes new and relay rail anchors of all sizes. When ordering snap on type, tool is
required for installation.
Gage Rods
All Gage Rods are made of round high-tensile threading stock, 1 1/4 in diameter, for all track
gages and all sections of rail. Gage rods prevent spreading of rails, reduce track maintenance
costs and prevent derailments. Lockwashers are supplied only when specified.
Double Jaw
Single Jaw
Hook Bolts
Hook bolts are very commonly
used to attach lighter rails
(usually up to 85 lbs.) to channels
(as shown at left) or directly onto
a crane rail beam. They are
usually threaded to allow up
to 1/2 lateral adjustment in
either direction, and come
complete with hex nuts and
lockwashers. When ordering,
specify rail section, bolt diameter,
and the size and weight of
supporting beam or channel.
No. 106 Weight - 1.05 lbs. No. 120 Weight - .81 lbs.
For all sections 60 - 90 lb. For all sections 25 - 40 lb.
All Bumping Posts are made in one size that will fit any rail from 5 to 7 1/2 inches high (except
WA which fits any rail from 5 3/8 to 8 inches high) for rail smaller that 5 inches or larger than
7 1/2 inches, please give height of rail on which post will be installed.
Shock-Free Heads
Spring-cushioned heads that help prevent damage to cars,
lading, bumping post and track foundation, have been proved
in service for many years. They are easily installed by simply
slipping over head of post and bolting in. Special head
design absorbs severe shock of coupler hitting bumping post
and does not require resetting. Standard model weight 435
lbs. and is available from stock to fit all post designs.
Model SG
The SG wheel stop is an economically priced,
but effective wheel stop. The impact of a
car locks this wheel stop tightly to the rail.
It is made of all welded steel construction,
and requires tightening only four bolts
for installation of each pair.
Fits all rail sizes 60 - 140-lb.
Weight - 200 lbs./pr.
Single Chock
Double Chock
Blue Flags
All of our Blue Flag Signs meet the requirements of the FRA and OSHA for the
protection of workers around or in freight cars and locomotives.
Model SW
The SW rerailer can be spiked to the tie or
clamped to the rail with an optional wedge-type
locking system. Either way, the SW is easily and
quickly installed for general use to retrack all types
of locomotives and cars smoothly and efficiently.
The SW like all of the rerailers, is cast in a special
ductile alloy. Lugs on the underside of the units
prevent sliding past the first tie.

Load Capacity: tons 100 200
Weight Each: lbs. (kgs) 121 (55) 63 (74)
For Use on Rails: lbs. (kgs) 85 to 100 110 to 140
(42 to 50) (55 to 70)
Model SW-C: Optional Clamp for A & B, 27 lbs./each
*Specifications subject to change without notice.
Model CW
The model CW rerailer is designed specifically for mine,
quarry, and industrial applications. Used in pairs, right and
left, the special guide groove design permits retracking wheels
from either or both sides simultaneously. A steel cam tightens
and locks against the rail head as the car wheel tries to push
the rerailer. This unit works efficiently even with unusually high
or badly worn wheel flanges.
