Rail Slide Wear Inspection

Polaris rail slides 1 run along the bottom of the rail to prevent track wear. The rail slide should be inspected periodically and replaced when necessary.

For ease of inspection, all POLARIS rail slides have a wear limit indicator groove 2 to indicate the minimum permissible slide thickness 1. Replace the rail slides if they are worn to the top of the groove at any point along their length. Failure to do so may result in permanent damage to the track or rails.
