RailwayHardwood and Softwood Wedges

Hardwood and softwood wedges are used for jacking up heavy equipment, such as rail cars, trucks, dump vehicles, and mining equipment. Pacific Coast Maple (hardwood) timber is used instead of a steel plate because it is lighter, maneuverable, non-slip and has more “give” without being crushable. Douglas Fir also makes an excellent and economic wedge

Hardwood Timber Wedges

We manufacture timber wedges designed to meet the demands of various industrial applications. Our timber wedges are crafted from Pacific Coast Maple, a hardwood renowned for its strength, durability, and exceptional performance.

Ideal for Rail Car Shops

In railcar shops, our timber wedges are essential tools for blocking up steel against steel items. Their precise placement capability makes them perfect for welding and fabrication tasks, ensuring that you achieve accurate and reliable results every time.

Beyond railcar applications, our timber wedges are versatile enough to be used for:

Chocking Wheels: Securely keep wheels in place, preventing unwanted movement.

Jacking Up Heavy Equipment: Perfect for lifting and stabilizing heavy machinery, including rail cars, without the risk of slipping or damage.

Advantages of Hardwood Wedges

Pacific Coast Maple hardwood offers several advantages over traditional steel plates:

Lightweight: Easier to handle and maneuver, reducing fatigue and increasing efficiency.

Non-Slip Surface: Provides a secure grip, enhancing safety during use.

Durable: While offering a degree of flexibility, our wedges are robust and resistant to crushing, ensuring long-lasting performance.
