MODEL 1004ARS HEAVY DUTY MANUAL SWITCH STAND
Model 1004ARS-heavy duty back saver manual switch stand adjustable  

The National switch stand is designed for service with high speed, heavy main line traffic, as well as yard use where impaired or close clearances require a low stand.  It is ideal for use with spring switches, electric locks and is recommended as the best stand for installation with the National mechanical switchman in either standard or reversed position.

Ergonomically sound with angled and longer switch stand handle which is designed to reduce back compression and to prevent back injuries.

CONSTRUCTION
Since switch stands wear more from vibration and shock than from actual use, all parts are designed for durability and log service life.

Dead center throw operation

Heavier rail sections, longer switch points and heavier accessories add considerably to the load which must be moved by a hand operated  switch stand.  The ingenious yoke and toggle arrangement of the National switch stand puts leverage into the operators hands when needed most.
