BlueRoll™ Family

The BlueRoll™ family includes solutions designed to facilitate, support, and optimize switch point movement within a turnout. Through technologies that reduce friction, lower operating forces, and improve reliability, BlueRoll™ solutions help railways enhance turnout performance while reducing maintenance requirements.

Each product in the BlueRoll™ family contributes to smoother, more efficient switch point operation, whether through rolling, sliding, or other movement-enhancing technologies.

  • BlueRoll™ EXtremme Duty Point Roller
    BlueRoll™ EXtremme Duty Point Roller

    The BlueRoll™ Point Roller reduces friction between the switch point and gauge plate, decreasing the force required to throw the switch while helping reduce maintenance and lubrication requirements. Designed for both new installations and retrofit applications, the system uses high-strength rollers to support smooth point movement and long-term performance in a variety of operating environments.

    Available in Standard Duty, Heavy Duty, and Extreme Duty configurations, the BlueRoll™ Point Roller can be adjusted to achieve efficient switch point lift and is designed to provide long service life even in demanding conditions.

    Key Benefits

    • Reduced friction and operating forces
    • Improved switch point movement
    • Reduced maintenance and lubrication requirements
    • Adjustable point lift and lateral positioning
    • Multiple configurations for varying service conditions
  • BlueRoll™ BlueSlide
    BlueRoll™ BlueSlide

    The BlueRoll™ BlueSlide provides a low-friction sliding alternative for switch point movement. Using a durable, wear-resistant slide block with an ultra-low coefficient of friction, BlueSlide reduces resistance between the point and switch plate while minimizing wear and maintenance requirements.

    The system can be retrofitted to existing BlueRoll installations or incorporated into new applications and allows adjustment for optimal switch point performance. Its simple design offers a reliable movement solution for railways seeking reduced operating forces without a roller-based system.

    Key Benefits

    • Reduced friction and operating forces
    • Wear-resistant low-friction sliding surface
    • Retrofit-friendly design
    • Adjustable switch point lift and alignment
    • Low-maintenance operation
  • BlueRoll™ HiRoll Switch Point Roller
    BlueRoll™ HiRoll Switch Point Roller

    The HiRoll Switch Point Roller is a bolt-on solution designed to support efficient switch point movement while simplifying installation and maintenance. Its retrofit-friendly design allows it to be installed on existing switch points without the need for special tie plates, making it a practical option for upgrading turnout performance.

    The assembly provides vertical roller height adjustment and accommodates multiple switch point hole spacing dimensions, helping railways optimize switch point operation while maintaining installation flexibility. Designed, tested, and manufactured in the USA, the HiRoll system offers a durable and easy-to-maintain approach to improving switch point movement.

    Key Benefits

    • Quick bolt-on retrofit installation
    • No special tie plates required
    • Adjustable roller height
    • Flexible compatibility with existing switch points
    • Easy maintenance and serviceability
