Vortok Stressing Roller

Save time and achieve higher productivity than that provided by traditional stressing methods. A standard 900m stressing operation is over two hours quicker using the Pandrol Vortok Stressing Roller.

Promote enhanced site safety with the VSR. With Pandrol’s stressing solution, there is no need for operators to use rail jacks or reach under the rail to fit under-rollers, reducing the risk of working accidents.

Eliminate insulator and pad damage with the VSR’s smooth lift-and-drop action. High-quality stress distribution reduces rail breaks at the weld by optimising localised tension. The stress-free temperature throughout the pull length achieves the target more consistently than other methods.

Carry the Pandrol Vortok Stressing Roller around and between sites with ease, without the need for the accompanying hammers and rail jacks required with other stressing solutions. This lightweight, portable solution is supplied with its own plastic carry box with a total mass of less than 25kg.

Choose a durable, high-performance stressing solution that will keep delivering results for years to come. The Pandrol Vortok Stressing Roller has a life expectancy of up to ten times longer than conventional under-rollers.

Select a versatile stressing solution designed for use with the majority of Pandrol rail fastenings and common rails, irrespective of sleeper material. The Vortok Stressing Roller is compatible with all rail profiles on continuously welded rails, including curves, straights and cants, and has extra lift for changing rail pads.

Reduce the input load needed from hydraulic rail tensors used in the stressing operation with the Pandrol Vortok Stressing Roller’s efficient, easy-to-use design, saving time and effort for the operator.
