Vapiti Locomotive Couplers
One Locomotive for Multiple Coupling Systems
The Vapiti 2000-16 is a dual-purpose locomotive coupler that enables a single locomotive to operate with both standard European UIC draw hooks and SA3 automatic centre couplers. This improves fleet compatibility, increases operational flexibility and simplifies shunting operations across mixed rolling stock.
Remote-controlled pneumatic coupling and uncoupling improve safety by eliminating the need for personnel to work between rail vehicles during coupling operations. The robust design is engineered for demanding daily use and supports multiple-unit operation as well as recovery applications.
Key Benefits
- Compatible with both UIC and SA3 coupling systems
- Remote-controlled coupling and uncoupling
- Improved operational safety
- Reduced manual work
- Designed for demanding railway applications
