Wheel Chocks
Heat treated steel spurs keep the chock from slipping. They can be turned to three new sharp edges and also replaced, thus extending product life Before ordering chocks, find out what kind of rail you have. Left; exposed rail, right; flush rail

"Nine Lives Wheel Wedge" (new 2008)
Nine Lives Wheel Wedge
A practical alternative to using oak wedges as wheel chocks. Wheel Wedge is designed to chock idle rail cars on storage tracks where cars are not subjected to vibration. Moulded in a special grade of urethane, the wedge is 10” long x 2-1/2” high x 3-1/4” wide. Rail car must be stationary before using wedge. After setting car brake, worker slips Wedge under wheel. The wedge blocks the wheel and when the wedge needs to be moved, the worker does not have to stoop down and try to free it from the wheel. Instead, the rail car can be run over the edge with no damage to the wedge and no risk of derailing the car. Do not use wheel wedge for cars being loaded or unloaded--use steel wheel chocks instead. Use on exposed rail (rail above ground level).

The new wheel chock features Aldon's time-proven steel-spurred cast steel chock in both single and double chock styles. The wheel chock is available for flush rail and exposed rail.

close up of sabertooth 2-way derail tie biting hooks
Detail of Sabertooth 2-way derail's tie biting hooks - prevents derail from sliding from either direction along the track

The SaberTooth derailer is available in three versions: two way, left throw and right throw.
The two way derail is FOR FREIGHT CARS & 4-AXLE LOCOMOTIVES. DO NOT USE WITH 6-AXLE LOCOMOTIVES. Sharp angle of double end derails will not assuredly derail the longer and heavier wheel bases of 6-Axle locomotives. Use single end derails for locomotives.
FOR USE ONLY ON WOODEN TIES!!! DO NOT USE ON CONCRETE OR RESIN TIES!!!

The Two-Way is a TRUE Two-Way derail because there are two hooks so the derail can't move in either direction. There's no wedge to relocate depending on derail direction. ALDON'S TWO-WAY DERAIL IS ALWAYS READY.

Aldon's portable Sabertooth derails are the lightest portable derails on the market.

4014-06-S Left throw derailer (Sabertooth) - for use with any type car/locomotive. Weighs 35 lbs.
4014-07-S Right throw derailer (Sabertooth) - for use with any type car/locomotive. Weighs 35 lbs.
4014-09-S Two way derailer (Sabertooth) - For use with any type car or 4-axle locomotives. Not for use with 6-axle locomotives. Weighs 50 lbs.

One way and two way derailing for industrial sidings and approaches to buildings. Aldon portable derails stand 2-3/4 in. above top of rail to meet current railroad locomotive clearance requirements.
SaberTooth derails have been tested at the Transportation Tech Center, Pueblo, Colorado. One-way derail derailed a 6-axle locomotive at 6.2 mph. Our two-way derail derailed a 100 ton loaded hopper car at 5.1 mph.

Tie-biting hook (shown above, left) prevents derail from sliding in the event a tie brace notch slips off tie plate. Hook remains trapped between two ties during derailing.
Tool-Free Installation: Four stainless steel thumbscrews eliminate the need for wrenches. No damage to rail surfaces.
Blue sign and holder are included with derail. Red or Orange signs are available.
