The Secure, Quick-to-Install Catenary and Contact Termination Method

 

Our SwiftLine Forked Collar is a game-changing, Network Rail-approved solution which is engineered to simplify and speed up the installation of Catenary and Contact wires on OLE projects.

Thanks to its innovative design, which allows for a tool-free installation, the SwiftLine Forked Collar removes the hindering complex installation methods of traditional solutions and replaces them with a push-fit, fully adjustable alternative.

The product’s repeatable adjustability is designed to reduce waste, whilst the product’s carefully designed housing allows installers to perform visual checks from ground level – reducing the amount of time spent working at height and therefore minimising health and safety risks. It’s universal compatibility, including the use of the same product for both multiple diameters of Catenary and Contact wire, ensures installation efficiency by giving installers the confidence that they have picked up the right product before getting up to installation height.

Whether you’re working on maintenance, upgrades, or new installations, the SwiftLine Forked Collar is the fastest and safest coupling and termination method on the market — increasing productivity, reducing costly project delays and lowering lifetime costs.

Step 1: Remove the retention rivet and clevis pin from the housing.
Step 2: Push the Catenary / Contact wire into the housing, ensuring it is pushed through to the end of the viewing window. Push the button to adjust as necessary.
Step 3: Align the Forked Collar with the turnbuckle eyelet and insert the clevis pin through both holes. Once through, reinsert the retention rivet until a clicking sound is heard.
Step 4: Rotate the cap lock in a clockwise direction to secure the wire in place.
