1.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION


DMF’s RW-1019 Railgear is our for medium duty chassis in the 10,000 to 19,500 lb GVWR
range. The front Railgear attaches to the frame and front axle and lifts the front truck tires off
the track, thus utilizing the vehicle’s front suspension. This design supports the vehicle as it
was intended and helps the truck navigate curves smoothly and damps out the effects of track
irregularities. The rear Railgear attaches directly to the truck frame behind the rear axle spring
hangers. It deploys with an articulating dual scissor action that allows the rear Railgear to be
moved both vertically and horizontally. This mechanism provides the “side shift” action which
has made DMF gear so well known in the industry. It gives operators a greater margin for
aligning the vehicle to the track, which speeds and simplifies the process of getting the vehicle
on rail.

Materials:
All structural members and brackets are constructed of carbon steel. The 10” rail wheels for
DMF RW-1019 Railgear are machined from hardened steel castings and are fitted to high
strength alloy steel axles with heavy-duty tapered roller bearings.

Installation:
Both DMF front and Railgear bolt to the truck frame using only hand tools found in any shop.
They are designed to minimize the amount of space required and in many cases fit within the
existing boundaries of the vehicle. The front Railgear, however, sometimes require a bolt-on
frame extension to complete the installation. Rear RW-1019 Railgear mounts below the top of
frame and directly behind the rear axle spring hangers.

Brakes:
NOTE:
The rail wheel brake system is intended to assist the existing vehicle brakes when in the rail
mode. As the vehicle rear tires are in contact with the railhead, the primary braking effort is
derived from the rubber tires. Rail wheel brakes alone are insufficient to stop the vehicle in a
reasonable distance.

The optional RW-1019 rail wheel brakes are of the hydraulic actuated external Cobra shoe type.
The rail wheel brakes use the truck’s hydraulic system to supply the clamping force. The rail
brakes are applied simultaneously with the truck brakes when the operator presses the brake
pedal. There is also a dashboard-mounted switch that permits the operator to enable or disable
the rail wheel braking system.

Options:
There are several options available for RW-1019 Railgear. The most commonly ordered options
include rail wheel brakes for improved stopping on rail, insulated wheels to prevent crossing
signal actuation, rail sweeps to clear the rail of potentially damaging materials, and various
retention systems to fit your application. Other less common options are non-standard track
gauges and slotted links for improved Railgear performance at crossings.

NOTE:
There are currently 4 approved chassis for our 1019 series of Railgear. While very
similar in some aspects, there are variances between the components and installation
procedures of these chassis-specific assemblies. To address this, we have established
this manual in a format giving general instructions that apply to all chassis followed by
specific instructions regarding each unique variation. Where necessary, notes will be
provided to ensure clarity regarding which chassis is applicable. Please locate and
become familiar with the sections specific to your application.

DIVERSIFIED METAL FABRICATORS, INC. RW-1019

2.1 BEFORE YOU OPERATE THE RAILGEAR


2.1.1 Familiarize Yourself with the Railgear
Clearances & Approach Angles
The installation of Railgear typically reduces the ground clearance & approach angle in the front
and back. In some installations, the rail wheels extend slightly beyond the corners of the front
bumper. Operators should familiarize themselves with the modified clearance & approach
angles.

Railgear Retention Systems and Locations


Walk around vehicle and identify the location and type of Railgear retention system(s) that are
installed on your particular vehicle.
DMF offers the following Railgear retention options:
 Manual Pin-Offs
 Cable Remote Pin-Offs
 Hook Lock Mechanism (front only)
 Lever Pin-Offs (front only)
See Section 5.2 for more information on Railgear retention systems.

NOTE:
DMF’s Rear Cylinders are equipped with integral locking valves; however, Railgear retention
systems are still required to be engaged in both the highway and rail positions.

Operation Controls
 Locate and familiarize yourself with the front and rear Railgear operating controls.
 Locate Power Take-Off (PTO) toggle/switch control and indicator light, typically found on
the dashboard (if equipped).
 If your truck is equipped with Railgear brakes, locate the brake switch on the dashboard of
the truck.

2.1.2 Daily Inspection


Before operating your Railgear-equipped vehicle, whether for highway or rail use, it is
imperative that you perform a daily inspection – see Section 3.1.1 for Daily Inspection List. If
any items found during your inspection do not conform to requirements, it is your responsibility
to take corrective action before any use of the vehicle.

2-2 © 2017 DMF, Inc. All Rights Reserved.


DIVERSIFIED METAL FABRICATORS, INC. RW-1019

2.2 HIGHWAY OPERATION


Before operating a Railgear-equipped vehicle on the highway:
1.Verify Railgear is in highway position.
2.Verify that the retention systems (both front and rear) are properly engaged (even if the
Railgear on your truck is equipped with a locking valve system, you MUST verify that the
pins are correctly inserted).
3.Steering wheel lock has been removed (if applicable).
4.Verify that Railgear brakes have been disengaged (if applicable).
5.Verify PTO has been disengaged and that the indicator light is OFF (if applicable).

2.3 GETTING ON THE RAIL

NOTE:
For 2011 Ford F-4/550’s, there are unique guidelines for operation on rail. It is
imperative to ensure that the vehicle is in 2WD & the traction control system is
disengaged. Failure to do so will result in both acceleration & braking issues
on rail due to overcompensation by these systems.

2.3.1 Getting onto the Rail


1. At the track crossing, drive past the track, then back the vehicle onto the rails. Engaging
the rear Railgear first will allow your vehicle to side-shift and align itself to the rail, making
it easier to engage the front Railgear.
2. Engage the truck’s parking brake to prevent the truck from rolling.
2.3.2 Lower Rear Railgear
3. If the Railgear has brakes, turn brake switch on.
4. Engage the PTO (or auxiliary hydraulic power unit); leave the truck running and the
transmission in neutral gear.
5. Disengage the Railgear retention systems (both front and rear). If the retainers are too
tight to be disengaged, verify that Railgear is fully in highway position by briefly pulling the
valve handles toward you.
6. Push valve handles to lower wheels and engage rail.
7. To assist with alignment of the wheels to the rail, you can also use the valve handles
independently to lower one side at a time to engage the rail, at which point you can then
lower the opposite side. This will cause your vehicle to side-shift and align itself with the
rail.
8. When both wheels are fully down and properly engaging rail, re-engage safety retention
systems.
2.3.3 Lower Front Railgear
9. If necessary, drive the truck into position to line up the front Railgear with the rail.
10. Ensure that the PTO (or auxiliary hydraulic power unit) is engaged (this was engaged during
the lowering of the rear Railgear).
11. Ensure that the front Railgear retention system is disengaged.
12. Check and make sure that the front rail wheels line up with the rail.
13. Push valve handle to lower wheels and engage rail.
14. If you do not require the use of the PTO (or auxiliary hydraulic power unit) for additional
equipment, it can now be disengaged.
15. Disengage the truck’s parking brake when you are ready to proceed.

NOTE:
The front Railgear assembly is an over-center design and does not require the safety Railgear
retention system to be engaged in rail mode.

DIVERSIFIED METAL FABRICATORS, INC. RW-1019

2.3.4 On the Tracks


 Do not exceed posted track speed limit, and at no time exceed 30 MPH while on the track.
 Be aware that some Railgear is insulated, and will not operate the crossing gate circuits.
You are responsible for knowing if your Railgear equipped vehicle has insulated or non-
insulated wheels. To assist in identifying insulated rail wheels, a grooved ring is machined
around the inside of the front and rear driver’s side wheels.
 All railroad rules and safety guidelines should be observed.
 Reduce speed while in reverse and/or at all crossings, curves, branch lines, switches and
frogs (no more than a slow walking pace is recommended).
 Traction is reduced on the track, especially in wet conditions.
 Braking distance is increased on the track, especially in wet conditions.
 Do not slide tires or guide wheels on the tracks as this will cause premature wear.
 Do not exceed the maximum rated capacity of the equipment.
 On newer trucks with Anti-Lock braking systems, the amber ‘ABS’ dash light may remain on
with the front wheels elevated. This will not reduce rear truck braking or rail wheel braking.

2.4 GETTING OFF OF THE RAIL


2.4.1 Removing Truck From Track
1. Safely pull onto the track crossing, paying attention to traffic and other obstacles.
2. Set the truck parking brakes and engage the PTO.
3. Leave the truck running and the transmission in neutral gear.
4. Lift both sets of Railgear (there is no preference for removal order).
5. Engage all 4 safety Railgear retention systems in highway position (passenger and driver
side, for both front and rear Railgear).
6. Disengage the switch that controls the Railgear brakes (if applicable).
7. Disengage the PTO (or auxiliary hydraulic power unit) and the parking brakes.
8. Make sure surrounding area is free and clear of any obstacles and vehicles before pulling off
of the rail and onto the road.
9. If the amber ABS dash light remains on during rail operation, the truck engine must be
turned off and restarted after returning to highway operation. This will clear the ABS light
after a few seconds. If the amber light remains on during road operation, the truck’s brake
system may have an active fault and should be checked out. Please refer to the truck’s
operation manual.

3.1 INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE


If your Railgear vehicle is high-use or operated under extreme conditions, such as operating in
mountainous regions or extreme temperatures, the levels of inspections listed below may need
to be performed more frequently than stated.

The following are instructions for routine inspections recommended by Diversified Metal
Fabricators. In some circumstances, government or corporate regulations may require
additional inspections be performed. Please ensure that you are aware of any inspection
requirements that pertain to your Railgear and that you abide by all local and national laws
regarding Railgear maintenance and safety.

3.1.1 DAILY MAINTENANCE

 Visually inspect for hydraulic fluid leaks.


 Check and make sure that all threaded fasteners are secured. NOTE: All hex nuts are either
nylon insert or slotted hex nuts with cotter pins.
 Check and make sure all tie straps that secure hoses from moving parts and exhaust
systems are in place. Replace if cracked or worn.
 Inspect wheel flanges for excessive wear, primarily noting differences in wear between
wheels on the same axle or diagonally. If an abnormal pattern is noted, check Railgear
alignment (see alignment procedure in Section 4.6).
 Inspect wheel “end-play”: Placing one hand at the 9 o’clock position and your other hand at
the 3 o’clock position, firmly grab the wheel and push and pull it a few times. There should
be no discernable movement in and out, and the wheel should rotate freely. If you feel
there is too much movement in and out, or if the wheel does not rotate freely, a detailed
inspection should be performed. See Sections 7.0 & 8.0 for appropriate axle assembly
drawings.
 Throughout the day, inspect wheel temperature. If extremely hot, this could indicate
bearing adjustment is too tight. For adjustment information, see Section 7.0 & 8.0 for
appropriate axle assembly drawings.
3.1.2 WEEKLY MAINTENANCE

Perform standard daily inspection points as listed above, and then check the following:
 Grease and lubricate all grease fittings on front and rear Railgear assemblies.

NOTE:
There are eight (8) locations on the GM/Chevy front assembly, twelve (12) on the
Dodge/Ford front assembly and fourteen (14) locations on all rear assemblies. See
drawings in Sections 3.2 for details.

 Check level of hydraulic oil and all other fluids.


 Check air pressure in tires and inflate to proper inflation pressure (if necessary).
 Inspect brakes and adjust if necessary. Refer to Section 5.2.1
 Test Railgear brakes on a test track.
- With the Railgear brake switch “on”, verify that pressing vehicle brake pedal causes the
Railgear brakes to slow but not stop the rail wheels.
- Locking up the rail wheels on rail can lead to flat spotting of wheels. Railgear brakes
should properly release when the vehicle brake pedal is released.
- Contact a Service Representative at DMF if you need additional assistance.

DIVERSIFIED METAL FABRICATORS, INC. RW-1019

3.1.3 BI-ANNUAL MAINTENANCE OR AS REQUIRED

Perform standard daily and weekly inspection points as listed above, and then check the
following:
 Remove the hubcaps from the rail wheels and inspect for deterioration or loss of wheel
bearing grease. Unless there is a problem, the cavity may be topped off with the
recommended grease without removing and/or re-packing the bearings. If parts appear
worn or damaged, replace and repack as shown in Section 7.0 and 8.0.
 Clean the hubcap and mating surfaces and apply a bead of silicone gasket and re-attach
securely.
 Clean the strainer / filter in the hydraulic power unit tank.
 Rail test for proper traction and braking and adjust as appropriate. See Section 4.7.
 Check Railgear alignment per Sections 4.6.

3.1.4 ANNUAL MAINTENANCE OR AS REQUIRED

In addition to the items listed in 3.1.1 Daily Maintenance, 3.1.2 Weekly Maintenance and 3.1.3
Bi-annual Maintenance perform the following:
 Disassemble, inspect repack and reassemble Rail Wheel Bearings as shown in Section 7.0
and 8.0.

3.5 DERAILMENT
The following are instructions for derailment inspection recommended by Diversified Metal
Fabricators. In some circumstances, government or corporate regulations may require
additional inspections be performed. Please ensure that you are aware of any inspection
requirements that pertain to your Railgear and that you abide by all local and national laws
regarding Railgear maintenance and safety.

In the case of a minor derailment, the cause of the derailment should be determined and
corrective steps taken. The vehicle should be inspected to determine if repairs or adjustments
are required. This inspection should include, but should not be limited to, the following:
 Visually inspect Railgear for hydraulic leaks.
 Ensure all lines and hoses are still secured and out of the way of any moving parts.
 Ensure all hydraulic hose connections and fittings are securely in place and not broken.
 Verify that all threaded fasteners are secure, and that cotter pins are not broken.
 Visually inspect rail wheels to ensure that tread and flange are not severely damaged.
 Spin all 4 rail wheels, noting any bearing noise, resistance, and end play.
Any items noted should be repaired using Section 4.0 and 5.0, to ensure they are repaired to
initial install standards.

In case of a major derailment, a complete inspection should be performed, including but not
limited to the following:
 Perform all inspection items as listed above in the Minor Derailment section.
 Inspect all long arms, pivot arms, and links, to ensure they are not bent, cracked, or
broken.
 Inspect and test rail brake system (see Sections 3.1.2 and 5.2).
 Ensure spring brackets are securely fastened, and are not bent, cracked or broken.
 Ensure all welds are intact and show no signs of cracking or breaking.
 Ensure all mounting hardware and brackets are securely fastened, and are not bent,
cracked, or damaged in any way.
 A full alignment should be performed. See Sections 4.6.
 Wheels should be removed and the bore, bearing, races, and insulation (if applicable)
should be inspected for any damage. For further wheel details, see Section 7.0 and 8.0
for appropriate wheel & axle assembly drawings.
 Ensure axle threads are not stripped or damaged.
Any items noted should be repaired using Section 4.0, to ensure they are repaired to initial
install standards.

4.1 PRE-INSTALL

NOTE:
The proper installation of this equipment is solely the responsibility of you, the installer.
When in doubt, contact DMF for assistance.

NOTE:
There are currently 4 approved chassis for our 1019 series of Railgear. While very
similar in some aspects, there are variances between the components and installation
procedures of these chassis-specific assemblies. To address this, we have established
this manual in a format giving general instructions that apply to all chassis followed by
specific instructions regarding each unique variation. Where necessary, notes will be
provided to ensure clarity regarding which chassis is applicable. Please locate and
become familiar with the sections specific to your application.

NOTE:
During Railgear installation, there are 3 different alignments - front Railgear to truck
frame, rear Railgear to truck frame, and a final procedure that aligns both sets of
Railgear to each other.

4.1.1 Safety Statements


 Always block up gear before getting underneath.
 Always use jack stands when jacking up vehicle.
 Use personal protective equipment and clothing.
4.1.2 Installation Order
This manual presents the installation information in the order that we find to work best. Your
shop, tools, personnel or other factors may dictate a different order. This is acceptable as long
as the Overall Alignment, Rail Test, Road Test and Final Inspection are performed at the end.
4.1.3 Required Tools & Materials
Aside from general shop tools and safety equipment the following tools will be required:
 Arc or MIG Welder
 Surge Protector (Protects ECM from damage during welding)
 Cutting Torch

4.2 INITIAL INSTRUCTIONS


4.2.1 Work Area
The area in which the Railgear installation is to occur should meet minimum requirements in
order to facilitate the process and provide adequate conditions in which the work can be
completed safely, accurately and in a timely manner.
 Floor - The floor should be level in order to provide good measurements required to check
the alignment of the Railgear.
 Lighting - The work area should be adequately lighted.
 Space - There should be enough space to maneuver the Railgear components into position
and to safely work around other equipment.

4.2.2 Truck Condition


Before installation, the truck should be checked in some important areas.
 Tires - The tire pressure should be checked for the manufacturer’s recommended inflation
and for consistent pressure readings from all the tires. This will ensure correct traction of
the tires on the rail. Also the condition of the rear tires needs to be determined. If the rear
tires are worn, they should be replaced.
 Alignment - Rear truck axle must be square with truck frame. DMF recommends that a
reputable alignment shop check this. 0-degree thrust angle (which may be different than
the factory specification) is required for proper Railgear operation.
 Frame & Suspension - On a new truck, these should be in good condition. On a used truck,
the frame should be inspected to ensure that it has not been damaged or bent. The
suspension bushings should also be examined for excessive wear and replaced if necessary.
If any problems in these areas are not corrected, it will cause difficulties aligning and
operating the Railgear.
 Transverse Torque Rods - On vehicles that will regularly experience high center of gravity
loads on rail (e.g. spray trucks, material loaders), it is advisable to install rear tandem
control rods to limit transverse axle displacement. This is also necessary on long wheelbase
vehicles to prevent front tandem walking off in curves.

4.2.3 Front and Rear Installation Rails


In order to install the Railgear to get proper tire traction on the rail, it is necessary that
standard gauge rails or Installation Rails be fabricated from 3” square tubing per Figure 4.2.3.
Drive the truck into the work area (pulling forward and back several times to align the axles)
and up onto the Rear Installation Rails. The rear inside tires should be on the rails with the rear
outside tires off the floor. The Front Installation Rails are not needed at this point.

NOTE:
Before proceeding, be certain that the front truck tires are chocked & the parking brake
is set.

NOTE:
Inside-to-Inside measurement of 56-1/2” is the standard gauge for the United States. If
your equipment is to be operated on any other gauge, adjust measurements
accordingly.

4.3 HYDRAULIC SYSTEM


For Hydraulic System drawings, maintenance and repair information, please see Section 6.0.

Once your new Railgear is installed, if your vehicle is going to have multiple applications for the
hydraulic system, please proceed to Section 4.3.2 for instructions on installing a diverter valve.

4.3.1 Using Hydraulic Power Unit Provided by DMF


DMF typically provides an electric over hydraulic power unit (Monarch M-304) to power the
Railgear. The unit includes a pump, motor and reservoir. This unit can be located in the truck
body, under the cab, or elsewhere as required. The unit should be protected from road spray
and moisture. This unit operates on Dexron III.

4.3.2 Hydraulic System for Multiple Uses, Railgear and other application(s)
DMF RW-1019 Railgear can be integrated with other hydraulic equipment through the use of a
diverter valve. RW-1019 requires 1.25gpm at 2,000psi. A suitable relief and reservoir (3gal
min) must be provided. Please contact DMF for assistance in integrating Railgear with other
hydraulic equipment. Due to RW-1019's use of hydraulic Railgear brakes, many customers
avoid the extra complications of integrating by installing the provided hydraulic power unit
(above) in parallel.

****WARNING****
Railgear control manifold has pressure reliefs and the hydraulic working pressure of the
system is 2,000 psi. The front brake relief should be set to 1,700 psi. The rear brake
relief should be set to 700 psi and all other parts supplied by DMF are rated to 2500 psi.
Care must be exercised that the relief in any of the valves is not inadvertently exceeded.
It is possible for a relief to be adjusted much higher than its valve can withstand. To
ensure correct system pressure, check with a gauge.

See Section 6.0 for hydraulic system drawings.

4.4 INSTALLATION OF REAR RAILGEAR

NOTE:
Only use GRADE 5 bolts when attaching rear bracket on the truck frame. The rear
bracket should break away from the truck frame in an accident otherwise it will damage
your truck frame.

4.4.1 General Information


There are several items to note before you begin the installation of the rear Railgear:
 Before you begin Railgear installation, please read installation instructions for the
options you have ordered. Some options may affect the Railgear installation process.

 It is important to note that there is a difference between “shims” and “spacers”. Shims
are vertical fillers, used to fill in the gaps between the truck frame and rear mounting
bracket side plates. Spacers are solid steel pieces varying in thickness, used between
the rear mounting bracket and the bottom of the truck frame to achieve proper weight
settings between the truck tires and rail wheels while on rail.

 Spacers used in adjusting the height of the rear bracket must be solid steel pieces
because they will experience the full structural load seen by the rear frame.

 When setting the height of the rear bracket using spacers, you must be within the range
of ½” minimum to 3” of spacers maximum. If you are outside of this range it may be
necessary to change out your links. See Section 7.3 for different link measurements
and contact DMF for final consultation before ordering a different set of links. DMF will
not be responsible if the links are changed from the initial order without consulting with
DMF.

 Before permanently affixing your rear bracket to the truck frame (including welding or
drilling holes), be aware that during the locating, shimming (if necessary), spacing,
squaring, and weight setting procedures, your rear bracket will be making slight
movements during each of these steps. So you will want to only TEMPORARILY secure
Railgear using clamps, chains, fork lift, etc. after each procedure.

 It is important that the truck tire pressure (especially the rear tires) be checked and
brought to the tire manufacturer’s intended pressure for a given load. Reference your
tire manufacturer’s load rating and inflation chart. (Inflating tires to their max side wall
pressure may result in drastically reduced contact with the rail if under-loaded.)

 If the Railgear is being mounted behind an aft fuel tank, the frame may require
extension. (Applies to the Ford F4/550 & Dodge 45/5500)

 The rear Railgear drops straight down, but it can articulate from side-to-side to allow
alignment of the vehicle with the rail. It is important that nothing encroach upon this
space (e.g., outriggers, lift-gates, and body tie-down bolts).

4.4.2 Diagram of Key Components


Figure 4.4.2 shows the key components and terminology that will be used throughout the
installation procedure.

Figure 4.4.2 Diagram of Key Components

4.4.3 Location of Rear Railgear


Position the rear Railgear as close to the rear tires as practical (allowing clearance for mud
flaps). Table 4.4.3 gives standard location and clearance guidelines for the rear Railgear and
these dimensions are shown in Section 4.4.4. Generally, leave a minimum of 2” clearance to
any tire, spring, or suspension components.

4.4.4 Location and Clearance of Railgear


The rear Railgear drops straight down, but it can articulate from side-to-side to allow alignment
of the vehicle with the rail. It is important that nothing encroach upon this space (e.g.,
outriggers, lift-gates, and body tie-down bolts). Refer to drawing on the next page.

4.4.5 Shimming and Temporarily Spacing Rear Bracket


Once Railgear is correctly located on rear frame, as above, if more than a 1/16” gap exists
between the rear Railgear bracket side plate and the side of the truck frame, install equal
amount of shims on each side to fill the gap, thus keeping the Railgear bracket centered. Note
that DMF provides shims of different thicknesses, and it is important that the same amount of
shim measurement is achieved on both sides.

With the rear bracket correctly located against bottom of frame rail and centered, there are two
differing methods of setting a preliminary weight setting:
1. The first method is to measure from top of rear bracket plate to floor, and adjust bracket
with temporary spacers, as shown in Table 4.4.5. This should provide a good starting
point for final weight setting.

23” 24” 25” 26” 27” 28” 29” 30”


Xtra Short Links 0” 1” 2” 3”
Short Links 0” 1” 2” 3”
Long Links 0” 1” 2” 3”
Table 4.4.5 Shimming Chart

2. The second method is to insert the minimum (1/2”) or maximum (3”) of spacers, and
then during the final weight setting, add or remove spacers as appropriate until optimal
weight setting is achieved.

Once spacers are positioned, temporarily clamp, chain, or otherwise secure rear Railgear to
truck frame. Keep in mind that spacers and rear bracket may have to be adjusted for final
weight setting and squaring/aligning with the truck axle.

4.4.6 Square Rear Railgear with Truck Axle


The Rear Railgear needs to be made absolutely square with the rear truck axle. Four
measurements (shown in Figure 4.4.6) need to be taken to ensure this requirement:
(1) The distance from the truck axle to the Rear Railgear Axle at each end. In Figure 4.4.6,
distance “A” must be equal to “B” (within 1/8”). This is an important alignment check.
(2) The diagonal from the truck axle to the opposite Rear Rail Wheel. In Figure 4.4.6
distance “C” must be equal to “D” (within 1/4”).

Figure 4.4.6 Squaring Rear Railgear

DIVERSIFIED METAL FABRICATORS, INC. RW-1019

NOTE:
Although the previous mounting conditions and alignment may be met, be certain that
enough room exists between the Rear Railgear and other equipment. In general, this
should include a 2” clearance around the Railgear (more clearance will be needed if
Remote Pin-offs are installed). Also ensure that there is clearance to remove the Pin-
Offs from their holes.

4.4.7 Temporarily Securing Rear Bracket


Now that the rear bracket is correctly centered, vertically positioned, and aligned, measure 1”
up from the bottom of the slot in the rear bracket slide plate, and drill your first 5/8” hole
through the shims (if applicable) and truck frame. Align this first hole with the 4-hole mounting
plate, ensure that the mounting plate is level, and then drill the additional 3 holes. Once all 4
holes are drilled, install four 5/8-11 Grade-5 bolts and secure them with the appropriate
washers and nylon lock nuts. Repeat this mounting bracket procedure for the other side of the
Railgear. Temporarily tack weld the mounting plate to the rear frame bracket. If re-
adjustment is later needed, the welds may be ground off, and the rear frame bracket may be
slid up or down by loosening the bolts in the slots. Also, temporarily tack the spacers into
place, so that if further adjustment is necessary, the welds can easily be ground off and spacers
added/removed as necessary.

NOTE:
Only use Grade 5 bolts on rear Railgear.

4.5 INSTALLATION OF FRONT RAILGEAR


4.5.1 General Information
There are several items to note before you begin the installation of the front Railgear:
 The Railgear unit that we have shipped to you has been designed for your specific truck.
 Installation instructions vary depending on chassis type. Prior to beginning front
installation, please locate and become familiar with the section specific to your
application.
 Check for sufficient clearances to prevent interference with Railgear and other parts of
the truck (i.e. Frame, steering boxes, shocks, oil filters, etc.) See further details below
for more clearance information.
 In normal applications, mount the front valve plate assembly between the frame
extensions (with the energy valve on the underside and the handle facing forward) and
weld in place. If this is not possible, mount valve assembly in the most appropriate and
easily accessible location.

CLEARANCE NOTES
Proper clearances will allow the Railgear to move up and down with the truck front
suspension. As the truck tire hits bumps in the road, the truck spring allows the front
axle to move upward (see above figure relevant to your chassis). Since the Railgear is
attached to the spring just in front of the axle, sufficient clearance must be allowed to
prevent interference with other parts on the truck (i.e. frame, steering linkages or
boxes, shocks, oil filters, spring hangers, hydraulic lines, etc.). The front mounting pin
does not move in relation to the vehicle frame because it is fastened through the frame
extension (or directly to the truck frame). As the front mounting pin does not move and
the rear mounting pin (at the axle) does, the Railgear effectively rotates about the front
mounting pin. Therefore, the part of the Railgear near the rear mounting pin moves
more than the part near the front mounting pin, and attention needs to be paid to the
possible clearance problems that can be caused by this movement.

Route Hydraulic lines:


1. Route Railgear hydraulic lines following the schematic in Section 6.0
2. Route brake hydraulic lines following the schematic in Section 6.0.

Align Front Railgear:


1. Ensure that the long arms are parallel with each other and the truck frame. The outside
long arms should be the same distance apart at the rear mounting pin as they are at the
front mounting pin. This prevents the mechanism from binding during highway/rail
operation of the Railgear. Also, the distance from the outboard side of the frame rail to
the outside face of the long arm should be the same on each side.
2. Ensure that the front mounting pins are the same distance forward. Measure the frame
brackets back to a common point on the chassis. These dimensions should not vary
more than 1/16”.
3. Check placement of axle brackets. As the axle brackets are attached directly to a
common point on the suspension, these components should be in the proper location.
Verify that this is the case and that the axle brackets are parallel to each other. If not,
loosen the mounting bolts and correct the misalignment.
4. Secure frame brackets. After performing the above alignment checks and ensuring
there are sufficient clearances for the Railgear, you may now match drill the vertical
holes in the front frame brackets and fully secure the brackets to the frame.
5. Align axle and orient brakes. Raise the front rail wheels just above the floor, enough to
slide the front installation rails into place under the rail wheels. Because the Railgear
axle assembly is not fixed to the pivot arms (outside pivot arms will be completely
welded to axle on inboard side at final weld-out), the rail wheels need to be centered. To
center, measure the distance from the inside of the rail wheel to the truck frame. If the
measurements are off, slide the rail wheels and axle assembly to one side (the axle tube
will slide through the holes in the pivot arms).
6. The cobra brakes need to be rotated so that they are oriented in the correct position
(see Figure 4.5.2.C).

7. With the axle tubes now centered and brake configuration determined, the axle tubes
should be temporarily tacked to the inboard side of the outside pivot arm. At final
adjustment, the tacks can be ground off and the axle re-adjusted if necessary. The
inside pivot arms should not be welded to the axle tube to facilitate ease of disassembly
for repair or future maintenance. The front Railgear is ready to be lowered on the
installation rails. As the Railgear is lowered, check the clearance from the truck tire to
the rail wheels. If there is any interference, stop lowering the wheels, and retrace the
installation steps to fix the problem. When the Railgear is completely lowered, the front
truck tires should be approximately 2 inches above the installation rails. If Railgear will
not lift the truck, check that the cylinders are not cross plumbed, that the system
pressure relief valve (if present) is set high enough and that the pressure relief on the
front Railgear valve is set high enough. As a final review, recheck the center alignment
of the rail wheels to the truck frame. If it is off, break the tacks between the outside
pivot arms and axle tube and slide the axle tube to the correct position and re-tack in
place.

NOTE:
DMF front frame extensions are designed to support the Railgear only. It is the
installer’s responsibility to properly engineer brackets for rail racks, boom rests and etc.

Mounting spring bracket hangers:


1. Remove the truck’s front bumper.
2. Bolt the frame extensions to the truck frame. Make sure that the tilt of the cab’s hood
will clear the frame extensions. Trim the brackets and re-gusset them if necessary. All
truck frame extensions that are bolt-on brackets must use 5/8” Gr. 8 bolts, hardened
steel washers and Gr. 8 prevailing torque locknuts. All of the 5/8 Gr. 8 fasteners should
be tightened per the drawing in Section 4.1.5. Check that the frame extension tubes are
level front to rear and side to side with the frame.
3. Slide the front Railgear under the truck frame, positioning the spring bracket hangers as
close as possible to the front truck axle. Make sure at least half of the spacer is seated
on the leaf spring closest to the front truck axle. If the spacer is not at least half-
seated, move spring bracket hanger forward to next leaf spring.
4. Once positioned, place a floor jack under the outboard and inboard long arm, close to
the spring hanger on the driver’s side. Using the jack, raise the spring hanger up
toward the truck’s leaf springs. You will raise and lower the long arms until the rear
mounting pin is 9-3/4” (+/- ½”) from the floor. See Figure 4.5.4.A.
5. Once you achieve the desired height, insert 1”x2” flat bar spacers between spring
hanger and leaf spring, up to a maximum of 4”. If you need more than 4” of spacers, a
change of spring brackets may be required. See Section 8.0 for spring bracket
information. Contact DMF for assistance.
6. Once spacers are in place with spring bracket at the appropriate height, attach the
spring bracket to the truck spring using a rubber spacer (already supplied) directly on
top of the leaf springs, and then a 1" x 2" flat bar Spacer (already supplied) on top of
the rubber spacer and two 3/4"-10 hex nuts per stud. The top spacer has no effect on
the height of the Railgear and is only used for clamping purposes.
7. The nuts should be tightened down until the rubber spacer begins to deform from the
downward pressure. Caution: Do not over tighten.
8. Repeat process on passenger side.

Route Hydraulic lines:


1. Route Railgear hydraulic lines following the schematic in Section 6.0
2. Route brake hydraulic lines following the schematic in Section 6.0.

Mounting Front Cross Tubes:


3. Ensure that both spring bracket hangers are properly installed before attempting to
install front cross tubes.
4. Connect hydraulic system to Railgear.
5. Disengage the front Railgear pin offs and set the steering tires straight ahead. The front
Railgear can now be actuated with the hydraulic system, which will cause the long arms
to be raised up to the frame. See Figure 4.5.4.A. The frame mounting bracket only
needs to be brought up to where it touches the frame extension or truck frame, not
raised all the way to lift the truck frame and raise the truck tires.
6. In order to install the front of the front Railgear at the correct height, the center of the
front mounting pins must be located at 22-1/2” (+/- ½”) from the ground (with the
truck tires on the ground) as shown in Figure 4.5.4. If required, space the cross tubes
down to obtain this 22-1/2” up to a maximum of 3” of spacers. Any spacers used
should be load bearing members (no thin wall tubing). If you need more than 3” of
shims, a change of cross tubes / mounting block may be required. See section 8.0 for
information. Contact DMF for assistance.
7. Once properly shimmed, the hydraulic system should already be properly positioned to
hold the shims in place until alignment can be completed.
8. Check for truck frame, spring, steering gear or other truck component interference with
the Railgear, particularly the long arms. See CLEARANCE NOTE and Figure 4.5.4.B.
9. Repeat process on passenger side.

Figure 4.5.4.B GM 45/5500 Clearance Envelope

CLEARANCE NOTES

Align Front Railgear:


1. Ensure that the long arms are parallel with each other and the truck frame. The outside
long arms should be the same distance apart at the rear mounting pin as they are at the
front mounting pin. This prevents the mechanism from binding during highway/rail
operation of the Railgear. Also, the distance from the outboard side of the frame rail to
the outside face of the long arm should be the same on each side.
2. Check placement of front cross tubes. Measure the frame brackets back to a common
point on the chassis. These dimensions should not vary more than 1/16”. After
achieving this tolerance, snug the mounting bolts to hold the position of the brackets.
3. Check placement of spring bracket. Measure the distance from each spring bracket (or
axle bracket) back to the truck axle. Since the forward position of the long arms has
been verified (Check #2), an off measurement here probably means the front truck axle
is misaligned and needs to be corrected.
4. Secure Front Cross Tubes. After performing the above alignment checks and ensuring
there are sufficient clearances for the Railgear, you may now tack the cross tubes to the
front frame extensions.
5. Align axle and orient brakes. Raise the front rail wheels just above the floor, enough to
slide the front installation rails into place under the rail wheels. Because the railgear axle
assembly is not fixed to the pivot arms (outside pivot arms will be completely welded to
axle on inboard side at final weld-out), the rail wheels need to be centered. To center,
measure the distance from the inside of the rail wheel to the truck frame. If the
measurements are off, slide the rail wheels and axle assembly to one side. The axle
tube will slide through the holes in the pivot arms.
6. The cobra brakes need to be rotated so that they are oriented in the correct position
(see Figure 4.5.4.C).

truck tires should be approximately 2 inches above the installation rails. If Railgear will
not lift the truck, check that the cylinders are not cross plumbed, that the system
pressure relief valve (if present) is set high enough and that the pressure relief on the
front railgear valve is set high enough. As a final review, recheck the center alignment
of the rail wheels to the truck frame. If it is off, break the tacks between the outside
pivot arms and axle tube and slide the axle tube to the correct position and re-tack in
place.

Completing Front Installation:


1. If the spring bracket location had to be adjusted, make sure that the hex nuts (two per
stud) on both spring brackets have been tightened down. Then with a torch, cut the
excess stud length on the spring brackets. If these studs are not trimmed down, they
may pose a clearance problem with other parts on the truck. See CLEARANCE NOTE and
Figure 4.5.4.B.

NOTE:
Remount the truck front bumper or use 8" standard channel welded onto the ends of
the Frame Extensions.

4.6 OVERALL ALIGNMENT PROCEDURE


With the front and rear Railgear both installed and each squared individually to the truck frame,
you must perform a final overall alignment of front to rear Railgear, and also adjust the weight
setting.

See drawing M1630115 on the next page for alignment and weight information. Once you have
completed the alignment procedure, return to Section 4.7 for continued installation instructions.

DIVERSIFIED METAL FABRICATORS, INC. RW-1019

4.7 RAIL TEST


 Run vehicle forwards and backwards on rail.
 If available, run the vehicle through curves and switches.
 Verify alignment by observing the wear pattern on the wheel and the behavior of the
vehicle. If adjustment is required refer to section 4.6 Overall Alignment Procedure.

4.8 FINAL WELD-OUT


Front Railgear:
 Weld inboard side of outside pivot arm to axle tube all the way around.
 Fully weld, on all sides, front mounting blocks / cross tubes to truck frame.
 If shims were required, fully weld shims into place on all sides for each shim location.

Rear Railgear:
 Weld 4-hole mounting plate to rear frame bracket as shown in Section 4.4.8.
 Ensure all spacers are firmly against side bracket and aligned with the rear mounting
bracket, then fully weld spacer to mounting bracket as shown in Section 4.4.9.
 If multiple spacers are used, spacers must be fully welded to one another on the rear,
and tack welded on the sides, as shown in Section 4.4.9.

4.9 INSTALL DECALS


 Label the vehicle according to the diagram on the back of the decal sheet. See decal
drawings on the following pages.

4.10 INSTALL VELCRO STEERING WHEEL LOCK


The DMF steering wheel lock consists of two 2” wide adhesive backed “hook” strips and a 4”
wide piece of “loop” fabric. A piece of adhesive backed hook is placed on the steering wheel
column and a second piece placed on the top flat of the steering wheel hub. The 4” wide piece
of loop fabric can then be applied to bridge the gap between column and wheel preventing the
front tires from accidentally being turned while on the rail. However, in the event of an
emergency, the steering wheel can be forcibly turned and the Velcro fasteners will separate.

1. Clean the top of the steering column and wheel with rubbing alcohol and a clean cloth.
2. Allow the column and wheel to dry.
3. Remove the adhesive backing from the “hook” strips and apply them to the top of the
steering wheel hub and the column as close to the wheel-column gap as possible.
NOTE: Trim the strips to fit around obstructions such as hazard light switches.

4.11 INSTALLATION REVIEW CHECKLIST


The following checklist is intended to assist the installer in re-checking and verifying aspects of
the installation that are often overlooked or forgotten.

 Rail test the truck to check for good traction and braking. A good industrial siding or some
authorized track time will be required. Check that rail wheels with brakes do not lock-up or
slide.
 Adjust the Railgear height as required.
 Re-check alignment of the rear Railgear to the rear axle.
 Weld the mounting plate to the rear frame bracket with two 2” welds (at the top center).
Welding the plates must be done; DO NOT forget to do it.
 Double check all welds and fasteners, and mounting cotter pins. Tie strap all hydraulic
hoses, air hoses, and electrical wires away from exhausts and moving parts. Ensure that all
hydraulic and air hoses have sufficient radius at bends.
 Top off the hydraulic oil in the tank.
 Verify grease installed at all grease fittings per Section 3.2.
 Touch-up the black acrylic enamel paint on the front and rear Railgear.
 Raise the Railgear (highway position) and install all optional retention systems.
 Apply the decal kit.
 Check tire pressures.
 Check front alignment per Sections 4.5.2, 4.5.3, or 4.5.4 as appropriate.
 Check rear alignment per Sections 4.4.6
 Check overall alignment measurements:
o Rear Truck Axle to Rear Railgear Axle (straight): A1 = A2 (within 1/8”)
o Rear Truck Axle to Rear Railgear Axle (diagonal): B1 = B2 (within 1/4”)
o Front Railgear to Rear Railgear (straight): C1 = C2 (within 1/8”)
o Front Railgear to Rear Railgear (diagonal): D1 = D2 (within 1/4”)
 Raise and lower Railgear and verify retention system operation at highway and rail positions
 Verify that all bodywork is replaced and secure.
 In a parking lot or open area, verify that the tires, rims or Railgear do not contact the
frame, suspension or other items.
 Inspect brake lines and ABS sensor lines to verify clearance from rim.
 Check for any rattles and vibration.

5.1 RAIL SWEEPS


5.1.1 Rail Sweep Adjustment
Installation and adjustment of rail sweeps is done with the Railgear in rail position. The bottom
of the rubber rail sweep should lightly brush the rail surface. Adjust up or down as necessary.
 Axles with brakes: Rail sweeps are typically shipped bolted onto the axle.
 Axles without brakes: Weld-on rail sweeps are shipped loose and should be welded to
the axle by the installer.

Figure 5.1.1 Rail Sweep Orientation

5.1.2 Rail Sweep Parts


The rubber rail sweeps should be replaced when they are worn to a point where satisfactory
adjustment is no longer possible. Bent or broken rails sweeps should be repaired or replaced
as necessary. See parts diagrams on following pages.

5.2 RAIL BRAKES

NOTE:
The rail wheel brake system is intended to assist the existing vehicle brakes when in the rail
mode. As the vehicle rear tires are in contact with the railhead, the primary braking effort is
derived from the rubber tires. Rail wheel brakes alone are insufficient to stop the vehicle in a
reasonable distance.

5.2.1 Brake Adjustment


It may be periodically necessary to adjust the rail brakes to compensate for pad and wheel
wear. See diagram below for brake adjustment procedures.

7.1 BEFORE ORDERING PARTS – REAR RAILGEAR


Required Information for Ordering Parts:
 You must have the Railgear serial number when ordering parts. This uniquely identifies
your Railgear, as it was built to your specifications, and also allows DMF to help you
maintain a history of your Railgear. If you are placing a parts order through a
maintenance facility, please inform them of the serial number, so that they can relay the
information when placing your order.
 Returns: DMF has a Return Authorization Procedure. You must contact DMF for an RA#
before returning any parts for any reason. Parts will not be credited without an RA#.
 Labor: In extremely rare situations, on a discretionary basis, and with prior approval,
DMF will reimburse certain, specific labor costs. If you feel this may apply in your
situation, you must contact DMF’s Service Department for a Service Authorization
Number (SA#). No labor will be reimbursed without an SA#. The SA# must be
included on your request for reimbursement.
 Please use driver’s side / passenger’s side terminology (instead of left/right side) when
describing issues with your Railgear. This ensures that everyone involved is clear about
where the issue is occurring.

Other Considerations for Ordering Parts:


This is a list of considerations to make before placing a parts order with DMF. There are many
variations and customer requirements that we strive to accommodate, and as a result, the
more information you can provide to us when placing an order, the more likely that we will be
able to help you quickly and efficiently.

Wheels:
 If you are a customer using special wheel profiles (this is especially prevalent in Metros),
please be sure to inform the DMF Parts Department that there may be a special wheel
profile involved in your order.
 DMF offers both insulated and non-insulated wheels – Please confirm which wheel you
need before ordering. Insulated wheels can be identified by a grooved ring machined
around the inside of the Rail wheel. This grooved ring can been seen and felt, and is
located about an inch in from the outside tread.

Links:
 DMF’s links come in 3 sizes: x-short, short, and long. The sizes cannot be mixed
between upper and lower links (i.e. Long upper link can only be used with long lower
link. Each link has a slotted version as well.
 Links are sold individually, unless you require an entire set of 8 (4 front, 4 rear). See
drawings for additional clarification on link type (i.e. long, short, or extra-short), and the
appropriate part numbers for ordering.
 Note: Short links are DMF’s default configuration for our Railgear.

DIVERSIFIED METAL FABRICATORS, INC. RW-1019

Cylinders / Brakes:
 Note that there are three sizes of rear cylinders and they match with each of the three
length variants of rear links. Please confirm the length of your cylinder and select the
appropriate drawing for part numbers.

Rear Mounting Bracket:


 DMF’s 1019 series of Railgear comes with a standard rear mounting bracket. This
bracket works on all currently approved chassis.
 For special applications, other bracket widths or heights are available. Please contact
the DMF parts department for more information.
 For the Ford F-4/550 series chassis, a special transit bracket is available to meet specific
criteria regarding curve performance. Refer to the drawing in Section 7.8.

8.1. BEFORE ORDERING PARTS – FRONT RAILGEAR


Required Information for Ordering Parts:
 You must have the Railgear serial number when ordering parts. This uniquely identifies
your Railgear, as it was built to your specifications, and also allows DMF to help you
maintain a history of your Railgear. If you are placing a parts order through a
maintenance facility, please inform them of the serial number, so that they can relay the
information.
 Returns: DMF has a Return Authorization Procedure. You must contact DMF for an RA#
before returning any parts for any reason. Parts will not be credited without an RA#.
 Labor: In extremely rare situations, on a discretionary basis, and with prior approval,
DMF will reimburse certain, specific labor costs. If you feel this may apply in your
situation, you must contact DMF’s Service Department for a Service Authorization
Number (SA#). No labor will be reimbursed without an SA#. The SA# must be
included on your request for reimbursement.
 Please use driver’s side / passenger’s side terminology (instead of left/right side) when
describing issues with your Railgear. This ensures that everyone involved is clear about
where the issue is occurring.

Other Considerations for Ordering Parts:


This is a list of considerations to make before placing a parts order with DMF. There are many
variations and customer requirements that we strive to accommodate, and as a result, the
more information you can provide to us when placing an order, the more likely that we will be
able to help you quickly and efficiently.
 Cross Tubes, Spring Hangers, and Long Arms are available in a variety of sizes and
lengths. Please be sure to check drawings for details before placing your order.

Wheels:
 If you are a customer using special wheel profiles (this is especially prevalent in Metros),
please be sure to inform the DMF Parts Department that there may be a special wheel
profile involved in your order.
 DMF offers both insulated and non-insulated wheels. Please confirm which wheel you
need before ordering. Insulated wheels can be identified by a grooved ring machined
around the inside of the Rail wheel. This grooved ring can been seen and felt, and is
located about an inch in from the outside tread.

Cylinders:
 The driver’s side and passenger’s side cylinders are different – please see information on
drawing to determine which cylinder you need to order.

Frame Extensions:
 Please call DMF for assistance. The truck year and model number must be provided, so
that DMF can correctly identify the frame extension needed.
