Wheels to meet every railcar and locomotive need
Amsted Rail’s Griffin wheels feature the most comprehensive product line in the heavy haul industry.
Whatever your requirements, you can count on Amsted Rail to deliver the highest quality, most reliable rail wheels for the long haul.
Micro Alloy®: The toughest wheel on the market
How tough is Griffin’s patented Micro Alloy wheel? Tough enough to demonstrate 72% longer wheel life when tested under rugged, real world heavy haul conditions. That 72% reduction in wheel-set removals translates into lower freight car operating expenses, less time for wheel maintenance, and enhanced “fluidity of the service.”
Made from a patented material that provides increased resistance to thermal degradation, nothing can take the heat at higher temperatures like the Griffin Micro Alloy wheel. Available in multiple wheel diameters, including locomotives.
One-Wear Plus: The plus in higher mileage situations
If you’re looking to add more miles to your wheel’s life, take a close look at the
One-Wear Plus. It provides additional tread service metal for cars in higher mileage
freight car service, which can lead to extended service life.
