Sleeper Changer/ Wet Bed Bucket.

Ref: HSW COMBI

A purpose built, heavily over engineered piece of equipment that is designed for two applications in one:

• Sleeper Changer: Where the requirement is for the removal of single sleepers by digging away the ballast to reveal the sleeper and then locating this sleeper within the jaws of the grab and sliding it out to one side or, if wet-bedding, swivel it around and through between the rails.
• Excavation of wet-beds: The old ballast is dug out and the dig depth can be adjusted down to 600mm by means of rollers. There is no need to split the track at any stage of the operation.

Side buckets can be removed on certain models to allow for digging through platforms and catch-pits.

Fully Network Rail Approved.
