Built for the Men and Women Who Keep the Rails Safe

At Ultralight Railway Brake Sticks LLC, we build tools for one of the most demanding jobs in America — working the rails. Based in Canton, Ohio, we design and manufacture railway brake sticks that are lighter, stronger, and safer than anything else on the market. Every product we make is built with a single mission: protecting the trainmen and women who depend on their equipment every day.

Our Story

We started this company because we saw a problem that wasn't being solved. Railway workers were carrying heavy, outdated brake sticks that slowed them down and wore them out. We knew there had to be a better way — so we built one.

As an innovative business, we understand what it means to rely on your gear when it matters most. That same commitment to reliability and performance is built into every brake stick we produce. When a customer needs a replacement part in a hurry, we move fast — because downtime on the rails isn't an option.

Made in the USA. Built to Last.

Every Ultralight brake stick is manufactured right here in the United States. We use UHMW polyethylene heads for superior durability and wear resistance, combined with a non-conductive composite construction that keeps workers safe around live equipment. Our 84.4 lb pull force magnets deliver the holding power professionals require, without the weight that slows them down.

• Ultralight composite design — significantly lighter than traditional steel brake sticks
• UHMW polyethylene heads — tough, low-friction, and long-lasting
• Non-conductive construction — engineered for safety around electrical hazards
• Replaceable parts — reduce downtime and total cost of ownership
• 84.4 lbs pull force magnets — professional-grade holding power

Why Replaceable Parts Matter

We designed our brake sticks with replaceable components because we know how operations work. When a head wears out, you shouldn't have to replace the entire tool. Our modular design means your crew can swap parts quickly and get back to work — saving time and money without compromising safety.

Serving the Rail Industry Nationwide

We work directly with rail operators, maintenance crews, and procurement teams across the country. Whether you're outfitting a single crew or sourcing for a large operation, we're here to help you find the right solution and get it to you fast.
