Request Information
Kant-Shock Shielding is extruded, rigid polyvinyl chloride in bright red color. This material has high dielectric strength and outstanding resistance to chemical attack. It has high physical strength and will not support combustion. Electrical creep distance across Kant-Shock Electrification to ground at the closest point is always in excess of 1 inch. Maximum operating temperature is 150 degrees Fahrenheit.

Safety Features

Safety Features

 N/A The only practical way to eliminate the hazards of exposed conductor bar electrification for power operation in a monorail or crane system is to convert the conductor bars as completely as possible with insulation of high dielectric strength.

United States monorail Kant-Shock Electrification eliminates hazard by preventing all possibility of accidental physical contact. The design of the Kant-Shock shield does not permit entry of an adult's little finger.

Various attempts have been made in the past to accomplish this protection but none has achieved the complete safety offered by Kant-Shock. Some systems set up additional hazard due to complex design.

The simple sliding-shoe collector together with compact mounting of Kant-Shock Electrification furnishes safe, live power feed throughout the system.

Other advantages illustrated in this bulletin indicate why Kant-Shock Electrification offers complete employee protection-improves safety records-reduces insurance rates.

Switches and Interlocks

Switches and Interlocks

 N/A Kant-Shock Electrification is applied to all standards electrified switches and crane interlocks. Switches thus equipped carry four conductor bars. All the advantage of US monorail compact design and flexibility of application apply equally with Kant-Shock Electrification. Special kits can be furnished for application of Kant-Shock shielding to US monorail electrified switches now operating in the field.

Track Curves

Track Curves

 N/A All Standard and RailMaster Curves can be equipped with Kant-Shock Electrification. Special curves can also be shielded. Kant-Shock Electrified Curves will include the rail, shielded conductors, brackets and splices. Curves can be ordered with 1, 2, 3, or 4 bar electrification as required.
