About Rogue Tool
History
In the 1970’s there had been a rash of serious injuries in railroad repair shops, many involving the change out of cushioning devices. The block and jack method was still in use, but the fork lift was becoming the standard for change out. This required an individual to go underneath the car in order to guide the device into the pocket, while the fork lift operator jockeyed the lift into position. One error and there could be a serious injury.
In 1975 Rogue Tool developed a safe and efficient tool to replace the fork lift. The CAR MASTER. Rather than balancing a several hundred pound device on the blades of a fork lift, it rested on a flat table top that could be safely adjusted while the device was being raised toward the pocket. Now the cushioning device could be changed out quickly, safely and efficiently by one person, greatly lowering the chances of anyone being injured in the process.
Car Master Models
The first Car Master was a floor model, the D510. As it became standard equipment in shops throughout the US, Canada and Mexico, some shops requested design variations to meet specific requirements. Rogue Tool developed a family of Car Masters, including the D510RR Rail Rider. The D510XLRR with larger top is especially suited for COC cushioning devices.
All the Car Master models may be ordered with optional
swivel tops and handles.
