New Heavy-Duty Tow Bars and Hitch Pins are Stronger, Safer and More Durable for Railroad Carts and Machinery
The Nolan Company's new lines of heavy-duty tow bars and hitch pins for railroad maintenance-of-way equipment are designed for strength, durability and safety.
Nolan manufactures five standard tow bar sizes, ranging in length from 42 inches to 22 feet. The tow bars’ construction--with square-tube design for added strength--will handle the heaviest loads. Nolan’s 10-foot model has a 1-3/16-inch connecting hole; other models’ have a 1-1/4-inch connecting hole. Custom tow bars can be made in a specific length, or to match the customer’s design or specifications.
Three types of hitch pins are available from Nolan. The standard zinc-plated pin-lock has an ergonomic, folding handle and includes a precision-machined, high-strength-steel, hairpin cotter.
Nolan’s clevis--a combination handle/restrainer--keeps the pin securely in the tow bar. Its ergonomic, hinged, fail-safe handle allows one-hand operation and provides more leverage for easier removal. The clevis includes a 10-inch securement chain and is painted red for high visibility.
For extra-heavy-duty loads and conditions, Nolan’s rigid-mounted pintle hook is easy to use and makes positive, secure connections. Three models are made of high-strength forged steel and will handle gross trailer loads from 30,000 to 90,000 pounds.
