An overload protection device (10) for a truck-mounted railcar brake assembly comprising of: a body member having a first end (14), a second end (16), and at least one cavity (18) of a predetermined size and shape disposed within said body member (12). A compression member of a predetermined size, shape, material, and load rating, the compression member compressed to a predetermined initial load, and disposed within the cavity of the body member. A first means (22) secured to and disposed on the first end of the body member for engagement with a portion of such brake assembly. A second means (24) disposed on said second end of the member for attaching to a force-transmitting member. A first portion (32) of said second means engageable with said compression member (20) for transmitting an excess force generated from such railcar brake assembly to the compression member, whereby said overload protection device will compensate for a potential railcar brake overload condition.
