Overview

Custom-designed drop tables offer easy removal of rail wheel sets, traction motors/combos and full trucks/bogies of freight cars, transit vehicles and locomotives. Drop tables can come in standard designs but Handling Specialty offers the ability to customize your drop tables, because we understand that not every MRO set up is going to be the same.
