Sleeper Layer Attachments SL400/SL450/SL550/SL650/SL850

Pandrol’s range of carrier-mounted Sleeper Layers achieve fast, accurate sleeper laying and spreading, with an easily adjustable tool designed to fit most kinds of sleepers.

Sleeper Layer Attachments product overview

Manufactured by

A telescopic frame makes the Sleeper Layers compact and safe to operate. A unique, patented linkage system ensures that the centre of gravity does not change during sleeper spreading. A unique, patented linkage system ensures that the centre of gravity does not change during sleeper spreading.

  • The SL400 can handle four sleepers simultaneously, while the SL850 can handle up to eight at a time.
  • The SL400 and SL450 work in hydraulic sequence and no electricity is required on the carrier machine.

Benefits of the Sleeper Layer Attachments

01

High output

Pandrol’s Sleeper Layers achieve a high output of sleeper laying, from 60 to 150 metres per hour (dependent on the model).

02

Enhanced accuracy

A precision gauging hydraulic system enables the accurate placement of sleepers.

03

Unique linkage system

The Sleeper Layers’ unique linkage system ensures their centre of gravity does not change while spreading sleepers.

04

Easy transportation

The attachments are compact and easy to manoeuvre safely.

05

Time saving

Easy-to-change components increase efficiency and save time.

06

Efficient

Unlike similar tools, there is no risk of the unit hanging over adjacent track when grabbing sleepers from a rail cart.
