On August 9th, an express train in Thailand's Prachuap Khiri Khan's Kui Buri district faced a harrowing incident. Three carriages of the 38/46 service, traveling from southern Su-ngai Kolok to Bangkok, derailed due to loose switch locking bolts. This led to 9 passengers sustaining minor injuries, though all were treated and discharged promptly. 95 stranded passengers had to be transported by bus to continue their journey.
Swift action from rescue teams cleared the derailed cars by midnight, and temporary repairs allowed for slow - speed traffic by noon on August 10th. However, this incident serves as a stark reminder of the importance of strict rail maintenance.
Loose bolts can have catastrophic consequences, and this is where the rail bolt wrench comes in. The rail bolt wrench is designed with a powerful impact force and an integrated operating system, ensuring that rail bolts are tightened to the correct torque. What's more, the lithium battery version is lighter, making operation safer and more convenient. It's not only suitable for rail travel but also has good mobility on land, making it an ideal tool for regular track maintenance.
This derailment in Thailand underscores the critical need for reliable tools like our rail bolt wrench to safeguard rail travel. Let's work together to prevent such incidents and ensure safe and efficient rail operations worldwide.
