The Series 2000 Miner
Brake Beam cuts maintenance costs by reducing uneven wear on brake
shoes and extending their service life. Field studies verify that
this advanced design reduces brake shoe replacements by up to 20%.
The Series 2000
Brake Beam features a rugged design with an extra-sturdy compression
member and casting. Compared to earlier brake beam designs, the
Series 2000 provides substantially increased resistance to car and
truck impacts, as verified by extensive testing.
