Home / About Techniplan

Steel and concrete sleepers represent a significant percentage of the total sleepers being used these days for track support.
'Clipping up' and 'unclipping' by manual methods is a labour intensive operation which also carries potential safety and health risks.
The Techniplan Clip lnserter is designed to apply and extract rail clips from both sides of the rail simultaneously with one operator.
The machine has two workheads, each of which contains two (2) hydraulically operated applicator arms.
A hydraulically operated scissor-type rail clamp ensures the machine remains fixed to the track during insertion and extraction.
All functions are independently hydraulically controlled by the operator. Good visibility to the rail clips is provided so that insertion rate is maximised.

Options which can be supplied include:
Centre jack
Rail clamps both sides
Automatic control cycle
Standard and narrow gauge options
Gauge convertible options
Choice of air cooled diesel power plants
Various clip styles
All Techniplan vehicles comply to latest safety requirements.
