Spike Driver - Model 130B

The 130B provides an effective alternative to the use of production spikers in curve and rail relay gangs. With it's compact size and operating weight of less than 6,500-lbs. it's not only more efficient than the large production machines, but can easily be set on or off the track by the mobile cranes used in these gangs.

Like other Harsco Track Technologies TRAK GUNÔ Spike Driving machines, the 130B features reciprocating, hydraulic driving guns that for over thirty years have proven the advantages of impact spiking. Spikes driven tight to the rail, fewer bent spikes, less rework and an easier job of assuring that spiking meets quality standards.

In operation, spikes are individually selected from the feed chutes and positioned for driving by a "Swing Feed" system (patent pending) which quickly and accurately positions spikes and holds them firm until set by the driving gun.

The Model 130B TRAK GUNÔ Single Rail Spike Driver—the efficient and productive way to handle curve and rail relay spiking needs.
