Our HEADS UP railcar motion sensor attaches magnetically to the bearing cap freight car wheels. If the wheel turns more than 20 degrees, two flashing amber lights provide visual warning and the battery-powered twin sirens emit a 105-decibel warning. The sirens and lights will remain active until they’re manually shut off.

End-of-Car Warning Signaler
Our End-of-Car Warning Signaler mounts in the hole on the car coupler head, and any movement of the car causes an amber lens to emit a 1-million-candle-power flash 60-90 times per minute. At the same time, a horn sounds a powerful pulsing beep (97 decibels at 4 feet). The flashing light and sound continue for 4 to 5 minutes after the car stops. If any further movement occurs, the signals both resume.
The device comes ready to use and includes a rechargeable 12-volt battery with a 10-hour operating range (a low-battery indicator is included).
“Heads Up” Railcar Motion Detector
This innovative Railcar Motion Detector makes your railcar as safe as your forklifts by giving workers a clear warning if a car starts to move. The ‘HEADS UP’ attaches magnetically to the bearing cap of any freight car wheel and warns workers that a rail car is moving. If the wheel turns more than 10 degrees in either direction, the battery-powered sensor emits a powerful 90 db two-tone warble. The siren has a baffle to moderate the sound level, as well as an illuminated on-off switch.
The NEMA-4X housing is rain- and dust-proof, and all hardware is corrosion-resistant.
