By MOKLANSA of Germany, we have supplied and fully installed a rail lubrication system to Edmonton Transit in 2011. It was designed to stop wheel on rail screeching. It has been so successful in abating noise that there are three more ordered for 2012 installation.

New sliding and fixed hydraulic bumping posts to many North American Transits and People Movers, including a Test Track unit capable of stopping a 374 ton /340000 Kgs Subway Train at 25 MPH/40 KPH.

These units are becoming mandatory in all Transits as they are the last line of defence against human and mechanical errors, especially in today’s litigious society. They stop RUNAWAY trains.
