Note: All Rail Brakes come with standard mounting, 8 Mounting holes on
a 16" (406mm) diameter bolt circle. Bolts must be 1.125" (28mm) diameter,
grade 5 or better. There are two options for manual release, 6 tapped
Release holes and a hydraulic quick coupler to pressurize the cylinder.

Rail Brake Selection
The rail brake must be chosen according to exposed surface areas of structures and maximum wind speed in addition to a suitable safety factor. For complicated structures please consult Johnson Industries and we will calculate and recommend the correct rail-brake for your application.
Serrated Tool Steel Shoes are standard
