Introducing the Mitchell 1515 FlexiRide® Rail Gear for Class 2-3 Trucks

Experience the future of rail gear technology with Mitchell's innovative 1515 FlexiRide® Rail Gear, designed to excel both on railroad tracks and the highway. Our system offers a range of groundbreaking features to ensure unmatched adaptability and user-friendliness.

FlexiRide® Suspension:  

At the heart of Mitchell's Rail Gear is our advanced 4-wheel independent FlexiRide® suspension. This adaptive system automatically adjusts to manage uneven track conditions, providing a smooth ride on railroad tracks.

Secure Attachment:

Our Rail Gear securely attaches to a specially adapted mounting kit that seamlessly integrates with the truck frame. Our patented Rail Gear mounting system offers unparalleled flexibility, allowing effortless adjustments in both vertical and horizontal dimensions for precise alignment and loading.

Composite Rail Wheels:

A standout feature of our 1515 Flexiride® Rail Gear is our noise-reducing composite rail wheels, composed of three key components:

Hardened Steel Forging Outer:

This layer offers exceptional strength and wear resistance when interacting with steel railroad rails, ensuring superior durability.

High-Strength Aluminum Inner Layer:

Crafted from high-strength aluminum, it reduces weight and acts as a natural heat sink, regulating wheel-bearing temperatures.

Polyurethane Compound:

This layer acts as an insulating barrier, significantly reducing high-pitched noise by up to 95% compared to traditional steel rail wheels on steel railroad rails.

Road Rail Wheels:

Mitchell's exclusive engineered Road Rail truck wheels allow truck tires to drive on the rail for propulsion and braking while maintaining a factory-quality ride off the rail. Our wheels accommodate a 305 mm wide tire, ensuring on-road stability equal to factory truck stability. They have been independently tested and certified to meet federal highway safety standards.

Streamlined Installation:

Installing Class 2 and 3 truck Rail Gear is traditionally labor-intensive and complex. However, Mitchell's 1515 Flexiride® Rail Gear simplifies the process with these key advantages:

Optimal Approach and Departure Angles:

Rail wheels pivot for ideal off-road performance.

Hydraulic Locking:

Use a handheld remote to secure Rail Gear in the up/down positions.

Accessory Mounting System:

Our innovative system houses hydraulic and electrical components with pre-engineered hose kits and wiring harnesses for easy plug-and-play installation.

Rail Shunts for Safety:

Our optional cartridge-style Rail Shunts seamlessly integrate with Mitchell Rail Gear systems. Controlled via a switch on the front Rail Gear, they activate or deactivate track signals. When active, Rail Shunts establish a direct connection between the rail wheels, triggering crossing lights and gates at crossings.


User-Friendly Installation:

What sets Mitchell Rail Gear apart from our competition is our complete engineered kit, easily installed by any mechanic, eliminating the need for customization and significantly reducing labor requirements and costs.


Mitchell's 1515 FlexiRide® Rail Gear represents the forefront in rail solutions, enhancing performance, prioritizing ease of use, ensuring safety, and delivering significant cost savings.
