Crossing Slab Lifter

Reduce manpower, reduce risk, reduce time taken and eliminate manual handling of heavy rubber crossing sections with our purpose designed Crossing Slab Lifter

The Thomson Crossing Slab Lifter is designed for the rapid removal and replacement of rubber block-level crossings.

When lifting crossing slabs out of the track, the forks hydraulically clamp the slab against the underside of the frame to provide a reliable grip without damage to the crossing slab.

This allows the machine operator to stack blocks on edge ready for replacement.

When re-fitting crossings the slabs can be pressed into place using two specially fitted blade edges.

One machine operator and two men to release the tie rods can remove a complete two-lane crossing in around 35 minutes.
