Rail and Sleeper Handling

Sleeper Replacer SB40 / SB60

Pandrol’s SB40 and SB60 Sleeper Replacers are attachments designed to replace sleepers safely and efficiently.

Sleeper Replacer SB40/SB60

Pandrol’s SB40 and SB60 Sleeper Replacers are high-performance excavator attachments designed to make track work faster and safer. 

  • The SB60 has innovative tilt and rotate functions that allow sleepers to be changed from both the middle and the side of the track.
  • The SB40 provides the same cost-effective, safe solution, but has been designed specifically for smaller carrier machines (weighing 8 to 12 tons) that are equipped with a permanently fitted tilt rotator. It is approximately half the weight of the SB60.
  • Both attachments can be combined with Pandrol’s Auto Master clipping attachment for swift, safe installation of Pandrol’s FC and FE Fastclips on new sleepers.

Advantages of using the Sleeper Replacer SB40 / SB60

01

High performance

Pandrol’s Sleeper Replacers are high-performance machines that increase productivity and save time.

03

Enhanced track safety

04

Auto Master Clipping

When fitted with an Auto Master clipping attachment, the Sleeper Replacers can also be used for fast, efficient installation of Pandrol’s FC and FE Fastclips.

05

Maximum flexibility

The SB60’s innovative tilt and rotate functions create maximum flexibility, allowing sleepers to be changed from both the middle and side of the track.
