Safety
Offering more standard safety features than any other brand.
Safety is the cornerstone of our operations at Shuttlewagon. We integrate comprehensive safety features into our mobile railcar movers and maintain a culture of safety in all our practices.
Our Safety Culture
Safety Features
Our commitment to safety extends to every feature of our machines
Our use of infinite range train air brakes offers maximum brake control.
Less red zone space means less opportunity for accidents and safer operation.
Shuttlewagons are designed to have as few pinch points as possible, keeping operators away from hazardous situations.
Our decks are meant to keep your footing stable, even in poor conditions.
Accessible ladders on both sides of the machine give you a safe climb up and down the machine.
Shuttlewagons don’t put you in compromising positions to perform service. Accessible points keep you out of danger by not putting you in awkward positions on, near, or under the machine.
Our advanced telematics systems monitor for shock/load, ensuring immediate response to any safety concerns.
Visual & audible warning alarms make operators immediately aware of a potentially dangerous situation, allowing them to immediately assess the situation and make a safe decision.
