The Thomson Mk3 Fastclip machine is the industry standard machine in the UK.

Simple to set up and to operate, hard to break and easy to service and maintain this machine remains popular for both re-laying and stressing work.

The machine is equipped with the fastest and easiest to use sleeper lifting device in its class.

Rates of up to 60 sleepers per minute are regularly achieved on rail stressing work and, even lifting all the sleepers, the machine can easily keep pace with rail thimbling and cutting in operations.
