L-Stop Safety Systems – Wireless Locomotive Stop System

Description

L-Stop is a wireless locomotive stop system that enables yard workers to stop the locomotive immediately with the push of a button, drastically reducing the risk of an accident by putting control in the palm of the worker’s hand. The L-Stop offers an operating range of up to one-mile line-of-sight, but extended ranges are possible with repeaters. Three handheld transmitters can be paired to a system and reassigned to other receivers as needed. L-Stop is a standalone system that operates independently from existing locomotive remote control systems.

With an always-on focus on safety, L-Stop continuously monitors the signal for loss of communication or power, broken wires or failed hardware and triggers an immediate and safe stop of the locomotive if any of those conditions are detected. Power and pneumatic connections can also be locked after being enabled. As an additional safety feature, systems that include horn and bell functions will automatically sound upon the receiver braking to notify yard personnel that the L-Stop has been activated.

L-Stop is a top-notch wireless control solution for enhancing safety in the railyard. Put safety and control in the palm of your hand with L-Stop today.
