Metalex (formerly Morton Manufacturing) A Jason Company is North America's leading producer of running boards, intermodal platforms, end platforms, brake steps, and locomotive steps. We are now also producing auto rack side sheets for the auto rack fleet.
We manufacture our round hole (Open- Grip) pattern with debossed holes and raised perforated buttons, integral wiped ends and safe margins on all sides. Our self cleaning design allows ice, snow, dirt and other debris to fall through, keeping the walking surface clear and safe.
Since 1903 we have been the industry leader in specialized, value-added applications for all car types. We are small enough to react to your specific requirements and large enough to effectively and economically service your company's needs.
We are proud to have a quality system that is certified to ISO 9001. All Metalex Railroad products are AAR approved.
