Portable Derails

Models PD-1, PD-2, PD-3L, PD-3R

Nolan Portable Derails are available in both double-end (models PD-1 and PD-2) and single-end (models PD-3R and PD-3L) designs. Lightweight, tough, easily and quickly installed, they provide protection for track crews anywhere. All models are cast from a durable ductile alloy. Wedge-type clamps secure the derail and flag to the rail head. The 48" (1219mm) high detachable, reflectorized "Derail" blue flag, standard on all models, can be padlocked in position along with the wedge, to comply with Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) rules. Available in both right hand and left hand designs, the PD-3 is an extra heavy duty unit, made to handle steel mill billet or ladle cars, as well as other exceptionally heavy cars. Derail flags and staff assemblies are sold separately from the derails to provide the most flexibility in choosing options.

NOTE WHEN PURCHASING: Flags and staff assemblies shown in photos are priced and sold separately from Portable Derails. PD-3 Portable Derails are priced and sold in left-rail and right-rail versions; please specify PD-3-LEFT or PD 3-RIGHT when ordering. Padlocks are not included with Nolan's Derails.

**Hinged Derail with Handle**

HDH derail with optional SS target stand/connecting rod. (SS target stand/connecting rod sold separately)
Nolan's popular model HDH hinged derail features a 10"-wide handle as standard, making the derail easier and safer to use. The handle is cast as part of the derail head, which is made of special ductile alloy. The rugged steel base is spiked directly to the ties and is available in two sizes that will accommodate up to 140 pounds. The optional model SS target stand used with HDH and HDH-140 comes complete with connecting rod, adjustable throw arm and signal vane. Both derails utilize optional blue flags.

Rerailers — Model DW, SW, CW
Model DW
Model DW The DW rerailer has a long, low-profile, two-sided design, ideal for a wide variety of equipment. With Nolan's DW, it is possible to engage derailed wheels farther from the rails than with most other designs, and wheels can be retracked from either one side or both sides. Placed with the exclusive "tie cleats" firmly against the first open tie ahead of the derailed wheels, the dual action locking wedge is driven into the front of the rerailers. The wedge prevents both sliding and tipping. The only tool required for installation is a hammer. Blocking may be necessary.

**Car Stops**

Model CS-60 Nolan's model CS-60 is a hinged-type car stop designed for permanent installation on either flush or exposed rails. In the raised position, the CS-60 protects workers, warehouse doors, crossover walks, etc., or it swings down out of the way. The CS-60 may be padlocked in either the up or down position.

Portable Derails Models PD-1, PD-2, PD-3L, PD-3R Nolan Portable Derails are available in both double-end (models PD-1 and PD-2) and single-end (models PD-3R and PD-3L) designs. Lightweight, tough, easily and quickly installed, they provide protection for track crews anywhere. All models are cast from a durable ductile alloy. Wedge-type clamps secure the derail and flag to the rail head. The 48" (1219mm) high detachable, reflectorized "Derail" blue flag, standard on all models, can be padlocked in position along with the wedge, to comply with Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) rules. Available in both right hand and left hand designs, the PD-3 is an extra heavy duty unit, made to handle steel mill billet or ladle cars, as well as other exceptionally heavy cars. Derail flags and staff assemblies are sold separately from the derails to provide the most flexibility in choosing options. NOTE WHEN PURCHASING: Flags and staff assemblies shown in photos are priced and sold separately from Portable Derails. PD-3 Portable Derails are priced and sold in left-rail and right-rail versions; please specify PD-3-LEFT or PD 3-RIGHT when ordering. Padlocks are not included with Nolan's Derails.
