Product Description

Description
Automatic Switches: 2,000/3,000-lb rating*
  • Replacement Pin, Bushing, and Shoulder Nut
    • No more attempting to repair broken or bent bolts to correct angle.
    • Replacement Pin design assures proper angle and position every time.
    • Bushing and nut set spacing eliminates over-tightening of bolts.
    • Pin replacement is as easy as replacing a bolt.
    • Pin and bushing combination increases strength.
  • Switching mechanism has fewer parts than the competition.
  • Switching uses easier up and down motion to change gates, eliminating side-to-side motion to change gates.
  • Heavy guards protect linkages against trolley damage.
  • Stainless steel turnbuckle design on adjusting arm.

Divert Switches: 4,000-lb rating (Air or Hydraulic Options)

  • Stronger one piece Cylinder Mounting Arm Bracket.
  • New cleaner spring location.
  • Gate design improves weight transfer throughout the entire switch. 
  • Stainless steel cylinders come in air or hydraulic options.

Gear Switches: 2,000/3,000-lb rating*

  • NEW DESIGN: Offers lower gate travel path height reducing chain interference issues(patent pending design).
  • Heavy-duty trolley stop (patent pending design).
  • Heavier gear design.
All switches are patent-pending designs.

*Automatic and Gear Switches carry a 2,000 lb. rating when hung with hangers. Rating increases to 3,000 lbs. when welded off to a beam.


Rails
  • Rails are waterjet cut using T1 Steel. Tthis increases strength and improves wear resistance.
  • Waterjet cutting allows an increase in the amount of material under the gate pocket and accurate duplication of parts. 
  • Hercules rails are 1-3/4 in. while the industry standard is 1-1/4 in.
  • Heavier gates offer increased gate dimension due to cutting the parts out of plate steel instead of using the standard 2-1/2 in. meat rail. 
  • Hercules gate is 1-1/2 in. while the industry standard is 1-1/4 in.
Bridge/Uprights
  • 1 in. x 2-1/2 in. upright dimension.
  • Uprights clock into rail for accurate line up and stronger welds - allowing weld on both sides of the rail. The industry standard design uses a face weld on one side only.
  • Bolt-on bridge design matches up for true placement. 
    • Wider bolt pattern increases strength. 
    • Lower flange design places bolts below beam. 
    • Flange design gives clean welding surface. 
Parts
  • Parts repeatability achieved by waterjet cutting, laser cutting and CNC machining.
  • Easy-to-follow parts sheets only require basic switch information to order correct replacement parts.
  • The interchangeability of off-the-shelf parts means faster turn-around and less down-time.
  • Precision parts require less time to change out parts and complete repairs done to units hanging in place.
  • Hercules Switches are made one design per style only, minimizing confusion and ordering errors. 
Whole Units
  • Faster delivery times.
  • Hercules Switches are made to industry standard dimensions allowing use of existing hangers when replacing competitors switches. 
Quoting & Ordering
  • Ordering Identification Guide (located in the Downloads tab above) provides pictures to better identify switch style, type and dimensions.
