The Mini-BuffGear gives drawbar equipped railcars and trains improved
lading protection and train handling. This special buffgear incorporates
a TecsPak® elastomer spring package to provide resilience in
drawbar designs with a standard yoke and draft pocket. This resilience
reduces any tendency of the drawbar to bind while negotiating curves.
The Mini-BuffGear's
high preload and limited travel provide ultra low slack in drawbar
connected multiple-unit well cars and groups of unit train coal
cars.
