Overview
The Brake-Boss TrackMaster is an advanced automated Class 1 air-brake testing device designed to enhance rail yard operations. It integrates with existing yard air supplies, connecting via an air inlet port and the air supply port. This setup, installed adjacent to outbound tracks, streamlines testing by automating the process, reducing testing time, costs, and human error. The device’s remote control capability through the Brake-Boss app further enhances efficiency, allowing car inspectors to manage tests from within the yard and access real-time results. The TrackMaster's ability to handle individual tracks makes it a versatile tool for rail yards aiming to improve turnaround times and operational reliability.Ease Of Installation
One of the main benefits of the TrackMaster is that it requires no infrastructure change of your yard's trackside air supply maiking it truly a "plug and play" solution. You can easily integrate the TrackMaster into your existing yard ground air configuration by simply installing this device between your ground air supply and your air hose connection to your train. Once installed, maintenance is minimal with required annual calibrations that can be performed on-site by a designated employee. The only additional need is a low-voltage power supply line to the TrackMaster unit.
"The Brake-Boss system has greatly streamlined our production here at Kirk Yard. Having the Brake-Boss monitor and record our flow and brake pressure has helped us tremendously in tracking down air issues prior to the train departing. This system has helped us send out a quality product and has helped reduce air issue related mainline stops out of Kirk Yard."
