WAYSIDE LUBRICATION -
SITE SELECTION, INSTALLATION & MAINTENANCE
Site Selection
Performed as part of a complete lubrication consulting assessment or as a wayside-specific analysis, the Friction Force® can select wayside lubrication sites to improve wayside lubrication to the gauge face of rail or to the top-of-rail for application of liquid friction modifiers.
Installation
Performed as part of a site selection assessment or to a designated location, the Friction Force® can install any type of their wayside lubrication systems, retrofit kits or necessary component replacement.
Maintenance
From routine maintenance to annual inspections, a contract program can be developed to address the unique service intervals and maintenance of each lubrication site. An optional service the Friction Force® can perform is bulk lubricant filling of wayside lubricant reservoirs.
HIGH-SPEED RAIL TRIBOMETER SERVICE
Rail friction measurements of gauge and tread of both rails, data compilation and analysis with solution recommendations.
BULK WAYSIDE REFILLING
Can be performed as part of a Friction Force® wayside lubricator maintenance program or solely as bulk lubricant refilling of wayside reservoirs. Portec Rail Products, Inc. can provide the personnel and/or the equipment and lubricants.
PARTS STOCKING PROGRAM
