VERSATILE SLEEPER RENEWERS. These machines are currently used by various railways authorities to remove condemned sleepers and simultaneously replace them with new ones. The sleeper renewers form part of a "consist" used by flying rail maintenance gangs in remote areas.
ADDITIONAL FLEXIBILITY: The machines incorporate a number of working motions which enable the operator to exchange sleepers in varying conditions. The three stage telescopic boom incorporates luffing and slewing motions as well as a gripper head tilt motion. These motions include boom slew plus/minus 15 degrees for gripping poorly placed sleepers, and "wrist action" for gripping sleepers on embankments. The sleeper gripper head can be adapted to suit a large range of timber sleepers as well as concrete sleepers. The unit is powered by an air cooled diesel engine providing hydraulic power to all of the above motions plus track jacks, rail clamps, a centre off tracking jack and hydraulic drives and brakes.
		SPECIFICATIONS: Capacity: 120 sleepers/hour Travel speed: 25 kph Boom reach: 4000mm from track Sleeper mass: up to 300kg Installed power: 30 KW
