Flat-Jacket Snow Melters
Our leading edge, high quality flat rail heater is the new standard of railroad track switch heating. Its flat profile gives you greater contact with the rail, and therefore thermal transfer is significantly improved over the round rod technology.
Standard Features
- Flat Profile Design– 570% greater contact to rail surface.
- Heat Output– Available in 300 w/ft and 500 w/ft by request.
- Industry Leading Lengths– Up to 34 feet with NO SPLICE.
- Maximum Moisture Resistance– Chemically treated Magnesium oxide.
- Single Ended Termination– Quick and easy installation.

SnapTite Rail Clip
Easy Installation– No special tools required, snaps onto base of rail with simple hand pressure or hammer. Typically installed on the outside of the rail.
Safety First– Greatly reduces the possibility of a pinch point and flying metal.
Bolt-On Rail Clip
Installation– Typically installed on the inside of the rail when solid braces prevent the installation on the outside of the rail or if the preference is to install the flat-jacket snow melter on the inside. Clip can also be welded on.
