The Thomson Sleeper Manipulator is designed for the precision handling and placement of steel, concrete and timber sleepers (ties).

Unique four-sided jaws can be rotated to suit the type of sleeper to be handled: urethane lined for concrete sleepers, patterned grip for timber and with welded steel lip bar for steel sleepers.

Jaws open to 400mm and close to 200mm gap to accommodate all sleeper types.

The 500kg Safe Working Load allows this grab to handle even the largest and longest concrete bearers.

A narrow jawed version with replaceable pads for different sleeper types is also available.
