Slack Adjusters (Overhaul & New)


Slack Adjuster Overhaul

Our maintenance division is dedicated to overhaul, testing and adjustment or re-engineering of railcar Slack Adjusters that are used in conventional body and truck mounted brake systems in both tension and compression scenarios.

We repair and test every Slack Adjuster according to it’s original specification, taking care to ensure they are reconditioned in accordance with AAR standards. This involves a complete disassembly and inspection, replacing any necessary parts and performing operation and load tests.

All slack adjusters are repaired and tested in Sigra’s approved test rig according to OEM specifications. Each unit is then stamped “RT SIG” for reclaimed and tested as per AAR S-423.
