RAILCAR AIR BRAKE CONTROL SYSTEM

CONTROL RAILCARS WITH CONFIDENCE — POWERED BY YOUR MACHINE.

The Dymax Railcar Air Brake Control System brings high-performance braking to your loader for safe, efficient railcar movement. Powered by your machine’s hydraulics, it uses a heavy duty 2-stage screw compressor—no engine required. Operators control car brakes and air latches from the cab. The system mounts flexibly on the coupler, frame, or rear deck to suit your setup.
