SPS - Self Powered Slot
Independent Work Platform
The
SPS is self-powered, consisting of end-less gondola cars.
The on-board track-hoe is free to move throughout the unit
while seated safely on the floor.
Ditching is performed at 250 tons per hour. The SPS carries
400 net tons or 9,585 cuft. of material. Off-loading is performed
at speeds of up to 450 tons per hour.
Additional tonnage designs are available. Switching to a
timber pick-up operation takes about an hour. The pick-up
of either concrete or wooden ties is performed with the same
oversized grapple.
