Handles wood and concrete ties

The TRIPP is designed to handle all wood, as well as wood composite, ties. In addition, optional concrete grippers are available to convert the TRIPP to handle concrete ties.

Adjustable gripper force

The gripper force for the tie gripper assembly can be adjusted for the following:

  • Different tie types
  • Tie degradation (to prevent further tie disintegration during removal)
  • Tie insertion (to prevent damage to new ties)

Operates from either side of track

82-inch-stroke-length workheads allow the operator to perform removal/insertions from either side of the track, allowing greater control in obstructed or constricted areas; the operator can also access the cab from either side of the machine.

Adjusts for different rail types and heights

Simple switch settings allow the operator to quickly adjust for jointed or welded rail. In addition, operator-controlled settings allow rail lift height adjustments for different rail heights - even different heights on left and right rails.

Stock fewer maintenance parts

Since the TRIPP uses many of the same components as other Nordco machines, you can stock fewer maintenance parts on your parts wagon.
