RW-1650 BC

DMF RAILGEAR RW-1650BC

DMF offers three types of mid-mount railgear for those applications which require a shorter rail-wheelbase than our standard railgear provides for a given chassis. Generally, this is necessary if a large vehicle is to be used on a track which has a tight curvature.

DMF Mid-Mount railgear is equipped with a rubber compression suspension system and both rail and highway mode safety pin-offs.

All DMF Mid-Mount railgear is used with a corresponding standard rear unit. There are many additional considerations (frame location, stability, rail curvature, etc.) in using mid-mount gear so please contact DMF for assistance in specifying and ordering this type of railgear.
