PROJECT OVERVIEW
Chess Engineering has been a trusted partner to Sydney Trains for over 20 years, supplying, servicing, and overhauling Pillow Blocks for the Tangara inter-car coupler system. The coupler connects train carriages, while the Pillow Block—a cast steel pedestal—provides pivotal support, absorbs movement, and maintains alignment, ensuring the safe and smooth operation of the gangway system.
As a safety-critical component under AS4292.3, strict adherence to technical specifications is essential. Chess Engineering has consistently delivered high-quality, reliable supply and engineering expertise, supporting Sydney Trains’ operational safety and efficiency.
