Shuttlewagon SWX 410 - 1994
The Shuttlewagon SWX 410, a 1994 model, is a robust and versatile railcar mover designed to provide efficiency and safety in material handling operations in industrial environments. With a tractive effort of up to 35,000 lbs from a single coupler, this equipment can move heavy loads with ease.
Main Features
- Maximum Tractive Force: Up to 24,000 lbs from a single coupler, allowing for efficient operation under various conditions.
- Load Capacity: The SWX 415B can move heavy loads, making it ideal for handling containers and other bulky materials.
- Engine: Typically equipped with a diesel engine, providing the necessary power to operate in demanding conditions.
- Design: Its compact design allows for maneuverability in tight spaces, which is advantageous in congested work environments.
- Steering System: Includes a steering system that facilitates movement in different directions, improving efficiency in loading and unloading materials.
The full-width, insulated steel cab offers the operator panoramic visibility. The rotating console provides optimal vision in both modes of operation, reducing blind spots and enhancing situational awareness. Two air suspension operator seats ensure comfort even during long shifts.
The “Air-Knife” system dries the rails in adverse weather conditions, increasing tractive capacity by up to 50% and improving safety. Rubber tires provide superior traction compared to steel wheels, while the robust design withstands extreme environmental conditions. Innovations in design reduce noise levels, contributing to a more comfortable working environment inside the cab.
Easy access to the engine compartment facilitates preventive maintenance. The SWX 410 comes equipped with standard AAR rail couplers, 24-3/4″ diameter guide wheels, and a complete braking system, including four-wheel disc brakes, internal parking brake, and a connection to the railcar braking system.
