Rail Threader (SRT)

Description

At the boom tip, the SRT’s rail-threading machine workhead utilizes a four-axis, electronically controlled, hydraulic manipulator head.

Manipulator head allows for:

• Complete control of rail threading operation
• Rigid constraint of the rail during threading
• Installation of rail into curve block plates
• Installing of rail in to existing spiked plates for out-of-face rail remediation
• Handling of tipped rail

The stops on the SRT's mechanical boom swing prevent fouling of adjacent track, allowing it to continue laying rail while having a live adjacent railway. It has a dual-sided operator cab, which improves visibility, and the SRT also eliminates the need for certifications associated with operating a crane.
