Locomotive Truck Coil Spring Alignment Tool
Locomotive Truck Coil Spring Alignment Tool
When a traction motor is being set, the coil springs on the locomotive truck have to be aligned, and the natural way to do it is to reach in with your hands. If the motor shifts, that reach becomes an injury. This tool gives you the extra reach to correct spring alignment while keeping your hands out of the danger zone.

Where It Fits in the Job
Spring alignment is a small step in a traction motor change-out, but it is the step that puts hands closest to a suspended load. Crews that keep this tool on the truck shop wall or on the motor change-out fixture remove that exposure without slowing the job. It pairs with our traction motor change-out base and traction motor work stand.
Like every Blue SteelCo hand tool, it is made in the USA and built to be in service for years. For other purpose-built locomotive hand tools, see the GE diesel oil drain wrench and our shop tools line.
