A PREVENTABLE FAILURE THAT COULD COST YOU MILLIONS
In 2002, a high-speed train derailed at Potters Bar in the UK after bolts on a stretcher bar failed. Seven lives were lost, and dozens more were injured. The cause? Loose bolts missed during inspections.
Rail networks operate under intense pressure: heavy traffic, high speeds, and harsh environmental conditions. Every mile of track contains thousands of bolts subjected to constant vibration and mechanical stress. Without reliable, real-time monitoring, even the best maintenance teams can miss a critical issue.
RAIL OPERATIONS
Preventive Maintenance
SmartBolts provide a simple yet powerful solution to help prevent costly and tragic rail incidents before they happen. Our patented Visual Indication System™ lets you:
- Instantly identify loose bolts during inspections.
- Save time and resources by re-tensioning only the bolts that need it.
- Spot potential failures before they happen, keeping operations running smoothly.
With SmartBolts, our technology goes beyond traditional methods. As you tighten a bolt, the Visual Indication System™ changes color, shifting from red to black. The color shift is proportional to bolt stretch, providing precise and trustworthy measurements every time.
