ABOUT US KDK Produces upset and press forgings. We have been producing them for some of the leading companies in America for more than fifty years. Companies that demand the very best in precision and quality choose KDK. KDK began forging components in 1947. We have been making advancements in our processes ever since then. We began as a company that was primarily making war time parts, WWII that is. Torsion bars were our main product and there was no shortage of work to be done during and after the war. Since then we have expanded into many different industries.
Handhold Forgings Features Custom shapes and sizes Machine finished or otherwise Application based tapping of ends Up to 10' length Available in Stainless Steel or Carbon Steel Materials
Product Description Hand holds or grab irons allow mobility of personnel in and around railcars. Hand holds are produced from carbon steels and from stainless steels and can be manufactured in a variety of configurations. KDK has tooling for most standard configurations currently in the railcar industry. Adjustable hand holds are also available that allow parts to be used in an application where multiple lengths are required. One end with a series of holes passes through the mating part and a pin is placed to secure the length.
The excess portion of the bar can then be cut off. The mating portion of the hand hold can be manufactured by punching or for finer tolerances can be drilled. The shape of the attached foot area is dictated from the customer. Finish of the component is also dictated by the customer. The flat area of the hand hold is also known as a mounting flange and they are typically designed to be flat or flush with the mounting surface. They are then typically riveted or screwed to the surface of the railcar. Standards in producing handholds can be found at the American Association of Railroads website (www.aar.org) website. Hand holds can be used for passenger and industrial railcars.
