Kinshofer Sleeper Changers

Kinshofer Sleeper Changers


The RBS sleeper changing unit with ballast shield for the use on tiltrotators is a highly specialized tool for the exchange of sleepers in an already existing rail track. With this attachment, the sleepers can be freed from the ballast, removed and a new one positioned. Finally, the shield can be used to level the ballast again. The rails themselves do not have to be removed and will not be damages. The exchange of single old or damages sleepers can thus be realized fast and easy – necessary features when working on rail tracks, as the rail traffic relies on its availability and cannot be stopped or diverted easily. A special holding valve provides a safe grip, even if the pressure drops. Precision is given due to adjustable end stops. The gripping pads of the clamping arms protect the sleepers from damage when grabbed and the adjustable depth can be adapted to the sleeper’s height. 

Another enhanced version is the RBS 20 sleeper changing unit including the revolutionary HPXdrive. The ballast shield of the tool has the additional option of bolt-on buckets that can be used to not just push out the ballast from in between the sleepers, but actually shovel it out and place it at a designated place. The gripper unit of the attachment is equipped with the cylinderless, maintenance-free HPXdrive and is suitable for concrete as well as wooden sleepers without leaving any damage when clamping. An integrated 360° endless rotation provides additional flexibility as well as the adjustable plunge depth to adapt to the sleeper’s height. 
Thanks to the HPXdrive system, the gripping tines can be easily exchanged with other HPX-shells.
