925 Tie Exchanger
The 925 is a dependable economical machine that can be used effectively on almost any tie renewal project.
This hydraulically powered unit not only costs thousands of dollars less than other tie machines but its clean, simple design makes it easy and economical to maintain and repair.
The 925 is valuable when a railroad is under pressure to remove slow orders from a stretch of track. It is also ideal for replacing switch ties, which is done manually on many railroads.
The 925 is sometimes used strictly as a tie remover. If environmental restrictions make a one-piece tie removal desirable or mandatory, it can be used advantageously in large, traditional tie gangs.
