Ballast Cribber
Description
Ballast is a vital part of the track structure. It bears the load of railroad ties, helps with drainage and prevents vegetation from interfering with the track. Railroads need ballast to function properly so that rail traffic moves safely. Because of Vancer’s focus on developing custom railroad attachments for maintenance of way needs, we developed the patented Vancer ballast Cribber. Our ballast Cribber is designed to efficiently remove compacted and cemented ballast in a single swipe – six times faster than traditional methods. Operators can quickly spot treat sections of track that need work.
