Anchor Adjuster Two-Rail

Two anchor operations - one machine

No need to buy both an anchor spreader and an anchor squeezer for your tie gang. Simply swap the workhead tools, in the field or shop, to switch between spreading and squeezing functions.

Use fewer personnel carriers

The optional extended cab allows up to seven extra crew members
(total capacity = 8) to ride in the cab. Fewer personnel carriers mean less equipment to maintain and less space needed on sidings for overnight storage.

Work with or without ties in place

Simply change a workhead tool to switch between tie mode and no-tie mode.

Minimize manual intervention

Since the AA2R also loosens and pushes the tie plates during the adjusting function, your crew has to perform less manual labor to remove embedded plates from badly degraded ties.

Lower cost of ownership

Since you only need one anchor-related machine, you save on initial
acquisition costs, maintenance costs, and even storage costs -lowering your overall total cost of ownership.

In addition, the AA2R uses many of the same components as other Nordco machines, so you can stock fewer maintenance parts on your parts wagon.
