MOVABLE & PERMANENT RAIL EQUIPMENT
Equipment available for SIMTRACK's Movable and Permanent Rail includes:
Pin Puller - The Pin Puller is a cleverly designed yet simple device which makes the pulling out of pins during the shifting of rail an easy task. More info...
Jackhammer - Depending on ground hardness, either an electric or pneumatic jackhammer is required. More info...
Jackhammer Dollies - Two attachment dollies are required for use in conjunction with the jackhammers. More info...
Mark Out Chain - The mark out chain is used to assist with correct alignment and distancing of the pins. More info...
Running Rail Cutters, or nibblers as they are also know are useful tools that assist the cutting of rail for either construction of openings, or repair of rails due to damage. More info...

LIFT OUT PANELS
The SIMTRACK lift out panels come in two options. The first, called a 'Lift Out Panel Latch' is a simple and inexpensive Stainless Steel latch that aids the breaking apart of the panel joint. The Stainless Steel latch locks into one end of the panel and by pulling it into its down position, it enables the joint to be easily broken apart and panel removed. The disadvantage to this type of panel is that once removed, the exposed rail is not protected, and so is only usable for points of entry for a barrier start, or short term for locations where animals are not expected to be around. The second type of removable panel is called a 'Fork Latch Panel'. This slightly more expensive product allows the removal of panels where horses require entry into inside training tracks, or in locations where the rail needs to be removed for extended lengths of time while horses may be in the vicinity. Removal of the panel is done by sliding back a stainless steel lever, and then gently pulling the other end out of its fixed fork attachment. Once removed the exposed rail is already covered by rubberised end caps, posing no danger to animals.
END CAPS
Our End Caps are used to cap off ends of rail which are exposed for any long periods of time. For example if there is a permanent opening of a rail to allow access into another inside track, end caps would be clipped into the open ends of the rail to protect entering horses from injury.
Also where lift out panels are removed, end caps are often used to ensure there is no danger to passing horses. The caps are made from the same durable material as the rail, but have a rubberised end moulded into it.
Holes have been cast into the cap to allow for the option of making swing gates, or alternative lift out panel fixings.
