Aldon 4014 Series SideKick Derail Booster
SideKick Derail Booster is designed for hinged derails.
- Use SideKick Derail Booster wherever additional derailing capability is needed.
- SideKick is useful in curved track where the derail has to be located on the inner curved rail.
- In such a situation, by placing the sidekick on the outer curved rail, the derailing capability is enhanced.
- For more information on the problem of derailing in curved track, see page 123 of our Rail Catalogue.
- Sidekick is installed opposite a hinged derail on the same two sleepers.
- Like a hinged derail, SideKick folds down between the rails when not needed.
- NEVER use a SideKick alone. It should always be used in conjunction with the Aldon hinged derail model specified at the right.
- Workers must ensure that the derail and the SideKick are both in the same position (on or off the rail) at all times.
- SideKick works with a derail to give an extra boost to assure derailing by guiding the wheels of a car or locomotive off both rails.
