Brake Components

Whether slowing down, controlling acceleration, or guaranteeing a full stop, your brakes need to be one of the most reliable parts on a rail cart or MOW machine. See some of the robust and durable offerings at I.P.S.. 

Collector Pans

IPS Collector Pans are a system of standardized steel pans and cross drains which are easily installed on new or existing tracks to collect pollutants such as spilled diesel fuel, greases, chemicals and toxic liquids. This system provides full pan protection between and outside the rails to carry wastes and rainwater to underground drains and tanks, while gratings are supplied and installed at regular intervals for safe access across tracks.

For further information please see our entry under our Innovative Parts and Solutions "Services" page.
