Tsamouris, the Fastener Specialists© Washington, DC, Metro 🚇 has implemented new safety protocols following a derailment near Reagan National Airport in September 2023. Investigations suggest the derailment was caused by a brake disc that had fallen onto the track from another train due to loose bolts. The incident involved a 7000-series train with 43 passengers onboard, prompting a thorough inspection of Metro's older rail cars. Inspections revealed that approximately 6% of brake discs on Metro's oldest cars had issues with loose or defective bolts. In response, Metro now requires a torque check of bolts on its older cars every 60 days, surpassing industry recommendations. The derailment, which occurred when the 7000-series train hit a brake disc that had fallen from a preceding 3000-series train, damaged 310 feet (94 meters) of track and required extensive repairs. Metro workers had to drill nearly 500 holes, install new studs, and replace over 240 rail fasteners to restore the track. At Tsamouris, our commitment to providing top-tier bolts and fasteners reflects our dedication to public safety and infrastructure integrity.

Brake holding tests are booming and here’s why We’ve seen a big spike in brake holding test requests lately. Why? The updated SOLAS Regulation II-1/3-8 officially came into effect on 1 January 2024, bringing new towing and mooring requirements for ships. What’s changed? ✔️Mooring winch brakes must now hold less than 100% of a line’s MBLSD, ensuring controlled rendering under extreme loads. ✔️Older ships (pre-2007 keels) without documentation need to calculate MBLSD based on mooring equipment strength and hull structures. Why it matters? Compliance is now mandatory (MSC.1/Circ.1620), with brake holding tests required for annual or renewal surveys. This impacts both operational readiness and safety standards. We can help whether you need professional brake holding tests OR tools for your crew to conduct them onboard, we’ve got you covered. Let’s talk – my DM’s are open for you. ~~~~~~ 🧯🔥Ship safety’s my game, and I’ve played it for 18+ years. Need a pro for FFE, LSA, lifeboats, or calibrations?

ROPS and FOPS, it’s a question that frequently comes up regarding forklifts, Telehandlers and of course earthmoving equipment. For Manitou in Australia our skid steer and compact track loaders are fitted with ROPS and FOPS Level 2. Level 2 is a higher level of protection from falling objects. Another reason to take a closer look 👀 at Manitou not just the wheeley ridiculous offers. Do you know the difference between level 1 & 2 FOPS? #handlingyourworld #skidsteer
