L'invertitore è un dispositivo di controllo, presente nelle unità di trazione , utilizzato per impostare la direzione di movimento. È tipicamente controllato da una leva situata nella cabina del rotabile. Gli invertitori, oltre ad avanti ed indietro, dispongono anche una posizione di folle che disconnette del tutto la trasmissione , similmente ad una scatola del cambio meccanica .

Vehicles equipped with a reverser can run both forward and backward with equal capacity, and are even equipped with lights on both ends for this purpose. Depending on the vehicle design, the only difference when changing orientation can be the driving visibility, and cooling behavior .

Reversers should never be operated when vehicles are in motion, to avoid catastrophic damage to the powertrain . For the same reason, to operate the reverser, throttle and dynamic brakes need to be disengaged.

On steam engines , cutoff is the closest feature to a reverser, albeit with more functionality.

Many vehicles only have one set of controls, facing a particular direction. To drive these vehicles in the opposite direction comfortably, it helps to use the universal control stand , or a locomotive remote controller , if supported.
