Track Stabilizer
Track Stabilizer
The Track Stabilizer, Model TS-30, from Resco Rail is engineered to enhance track stability by applying controlled and precise force directly into the track structure. Operators can set the desired down-feed pressure for each rail, and the machine maintains this pressure consistently until adjustments are made.
Key Features:
- Precise Force Application: Allows operators to set specific down-feed pressures for each rail, ensuring consistent track stabilization.
- Robust Construction: Designed with high-strength materials to endure the demanding conditions of track maintenance operations.
- Efficient Operation: Capable of achieving travel speeds up to 50 mph (80 km/h), facilitating swift deployment and operation.
- Advanced Safety Systems: Equipped with comprehensive safety features, including derail protection skids and reliable braking systems, to ensure safe operation.
Specifications:
- Frame: High-strength boxed beam welded steel construction, computer-designed for optimal stress and deflection management.
- Engine: Cummins QSB Tier 4, 6.7-liter, 6-cylinder diesel engine, delivering 300 BHP (224 kW) at 2,200 RPM.
- Travel Speed: Up to 50 mph (80 km/h).
- Wheels and Brakes: 28-inch solid steel wheels mounted on heavy-duty axles, featuring air-operated tread-type brakes with high-friction composition shoes.
- Electrical System: 24 VDC with a 175 amp alternator.
- Hydraulic System: Incorporates variable displacement piston pumps and solenoid-operated valves for precise control.
- Air System: Engine-mounted air compressor capable of producing up to 28 SCFM, operating at a nominal pressure of 100 psi.
- Cab: Fully enclosed and climatized, mounted on air bags, accessible from either side via a rear platform and entry door.
Optional Features:
- Dual cab configuration.
- Track gauge recording system.
- AAR couplers, UIC hooks, and buffers.
- Train line brakes.
Performance:
The Track Stabilizer prevents track settlement and misalignment by compacting the ballast around the track foundation. Its powerful engine and stabilization system help maintain optimal track geometry, improving the overall stability of the railway infrastructure. It plays a critical role in reducing maintenance needs and enhancing the safety of train operations.
INNOVATIONS:
Equipped with advanced hydraulic systems, the Track Stabilizer can adjust its stabilizing force based on the track’s condition, ensuring maximum efficiency with minimal effort. Its design allows it to work on various track types and in different environmental conditions, making it a versatile tool for rail operators.
Key Specifications:
- Hydraulic control system for adjustable stabilizing force
- High-precision ballast compaction for optimal track alignment
- Easy to operate with user-friendly controls
- Robust construction for long-term use
- Suitable for various track types and conditions
