Brake Blocks

SIDEREA in partnership with Aus Railway Services manufactures and distributes all of its products to a wide range of designs and models that cover the requirements of passenger cars -electric and locomotive hauled - locomotives -road and switchers -and all kinds of freight cars in Australia. This allows equipping each vehicle with the most appropriate type of product. The company's products perform optimally in both freight services, mainly Heavy Haul, and in passenger services, including commuter, Metro, medium and long distance passenger services, including those with routes that include, for example, long and stiff grades. Likewise, our products perform with absolute efficiency under the most demanding climatical conditions such as in deserts, tropical areas and under extremely low temperatures. In all cases, the use of our products does not cause damage to the wheels or brake discs on which they operate, nor do they affect rail to wheel adhesion.
