Magnetek

Safely and easily control your locomotive equipment with Magnetek’s railyard radio remote control system. A single operator, working from a safe distance with a clear view, can maneuver a locomotive with ease and confidence.

As the innovators of the single-cabinet Machine Control Unit (MCU), Magnetek has helped railyards increase productivity, enhance safety, and reduce labor costs. We offer the smallest modular locomotive control system in the industry. The system combines a lightweight, comfortably contoured portable XLTX radio remote Operator Control Unit (OCU) with a Flex M fixed base receiver with all electronics and pneumatics in one cabinet.

Advanced technology and innovative design makes our system extremely reliable and easy to install and maintain—all at a great value.
