  1. Sims Metal Management

    “We are very pleased with the SAS Rail Coupler. It allows us to safely move five railcars at once. We used to move the railcars with the forks. Several times we’ve damage the railcars by poking a fork through the railcar. Once the railcar owner started billing us for the damage, I knew we had to do something different. The SAS RR Coupler has been great on our Volvo L220F. I would estimate we’ve moved over 3,000 railcars since we bought it.” Subsequently in following years; Sims Metal Management has purchased additional SAS RR Coupler attachments to improve the safety of moving railcars. The SAS RR Coupler has been built for a number of makes and models of wheel loaders in the Sims fleet, including: Volvo L220, Cat 980, Volvo L150, Volvo L110.
