The Couplers are cast in accordance with customer drawings and specifications and supplied semi-finished or fully finished with locks and locking pins attached. API Engineering Couplers are designed to be compatible with a range of other manufacturers.
The buffers, one at each corner rail vehicle, are pulled together and compressed by the coupling device.
