Adjust to different working conditions

  • Simply adjust the limit switches to set the claw height for different rail heights.
  • Quickly change the width of the claw opening at any time using a simple dial setting or use the automatic workhead centering option.
  • Easily position inner and outer claws to align for different spike patterns.
  • Use the integrated turntable to easily reverse direction on the track.
  • Use optional specialized workhead assemblies to handle either Lewis bolts or hairpin spikes.

Use fewer personnel carriers

The optional extended cab allows up to five extra crew members (total capacity = 7) to ride in the cab. Fewer personnel carriers mean less equipment to maintain and less space needed on sidings for overnight storage.

Keep production levels high while maximizing spike reuse

Pull two spikes simultaneously from each side of the rail, for a total of four spikes at one time. Since claw fingers grasp spikes under the head while the workhead assembly pulls straight up, spikes stay straight and re-usable.

Lower cost of ownership

Since the SP2R uses many of the same components as other Nordco machines, you can stock fewer maintenance parts on your parts wagon.
