GS Metals Brake Steps Offer Superior Slip Protection on Rail Car Running Boards

GS Metals Brake Steps, made from GRIP STRUT® Safety Grating (the original safety grating), provide optimum safety while setting or releasing rail car hand brakes, and can replace unsafe running boards that are missing, broken or bent.

GRIP STRUT Safety Grating features a unique serrated surface for maximum slip protection in situations where rain, ice, snow, grease, oil and other slippery materials create hazardous conditions for railroad workers.

The open design lets liquid and debris pass through to keep brake steps clear.

GS Metals Brake Steps are available in 8" and 10" widths to fit most common brake chain configurations. A reinforced collar is included with all brake chain cutouts to keep walkway surfaces from bending to one side. Immediate shipment is available to meet emergency requirements.

The part shown above is GS Metals part #04-030-OC-06.
