BlueRoll™ Point Roller

The BlueRoll™ reduces friction between the point and gauge plate, which directly reduces the force required to throw the point. This in turn reduces the need for maintenance and lubrication.

    • BlueRoll™ Standard Duty: Sealed glass-reinforced nylon rollers
    • BlueRoll™ Heavy Duty: Sealed glass-reinforced nylon rollers within steel tires
