This device incorporates a digging blade used to clear ballast from between the sleepers and a sleeper manipulator which can be used to move, turn and handle the sleepers eliminating the need for heavy manual work.

Developed from our proven and successful SM12 Sleeper Manipulator, which has been in production for seven years, the manipulator on the SC19-01 Sleeper Changer embodies the unique features of that product including replaceable grip pads with Urethane coating for concrete sleepers, steel faces for steel sleepers or patterned steel faces for gripping wooden sleepers.

In the SC19-01 Sleeper Changer the chain drive rotator of the SM12 has been replaced with a heavy duty worm-drive unit which is more compact giving the operator even better control of the sleepers
and even more torque to help release old sleepers from the track bed.

Benefits
  • Grab kept as close to the attachment point as optimum control
  • Heavy duty worm-drive high output torque & low speed
  • Both hydraulic systems incorporate pressure reducing valves
