Loco Brakes & Suspensions

Offering a balanced ratio between the iron reinforcing and the high wear resistance polymer, these high-performance locomotive brake blocks significantly reduce wheel wear and last 15-25% longer than competitive products.

Locomotive Brake Blocks

A technically refined, high-performance solution, the Maskew range of locomotive brake blocks (B Brakes) offer significantly reduced wheel wear and between 15-25% longer life than competitive products. This high performance is achieved without compromising safety as the brake blocks feature a precisely balanced ratio between the iron reinforcing and the high wear resistance polymer that ensures ample friction and safe, smooth, evenly distributed braking under both dry and wet conditions.
