RailwayHardwood and Softwood Blocking

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

Features

High Strength and Stability: Pacific Coast Maple timber provides excellent support and stability, ensuring that heavy equipment and cargo remain securely in place.

Lightweight and Maneuverable: Easier to handle than steel plates, our timber solutions allow for quick and efficient placement and removal.

Non-Slip Surface: The natural texture of maple timber offers a non-slip surface, enhancing safety during operations.

Flexible and Durable: Our timber blocking pads provide greater “give” under heavy loads, reducing the risk of crushing while maintaining structural integrity.
