Rail Shoes and Inserts




Blue Shoes™ Rail Shoe Inserts

Made from Ultra High Weight Molecular Weight Polyethylene, a material with superior properties of impact strength, resistance to abrasion, water absorption and checmicals, and outstanding lubricity compared to either nylon or molybdenum disulphide-filled nylon. In addition to these properties UHMWPE has the operating characteristics of reducing rail chatter. Less rail lubrication is needed with Blue Shoes elevator rail shoe inserts. Swivel models are also available. Call for details.
