Sleeper gantry is a railway machine used to handle and transport the sleepers in the railway infrastructural and maintenance projects. It is a solution to transport new sleepers to laying trains and remove old ones in construction or maintenance projects. Regarding its application, it is also known as sleeper handling equipment or sleeper replacement gantry, being the main piece of railway equipment.
Installed on special rail wagons or platforms like motorized trolley, sleeper transport machine operates with an equipped collection structure and travels along the railway. The ballast around the existing sleepers is excavated, allowing the sleeper gantry to remove and replace the old sleepers with new ones. Afterward, the ballast is redistributed and tamped to be prepared for use.
Railway gantry or sleeper transport systems play a crucial role in sleeper replacement in track renewal projects. Railways are built with different components. Among these components, sleepers are important in maintaining the stability, alignment, and durability of the tracks. Since sleepers can deteriorate over time due to various factors, they should be replaced on time to prevent incidents like derailments. By doing so, the sleeper gantry is an integral equipment in railway construction and maintenance.
Sleeper handling machines are among the most efficient machines for meeting construction and maintenance needs. Therefore, the reliability and efficiency of sleeper gantry performance are the most crucial factors you should consider. In addition, the sleeper transport and replacement process could be a time-consuming process, at which speed matters. With the development of technology, sleeper handling machines have become more sophisticated and speed up this process.
On the other hand, sleepers are made of different materials, including wood, concrete, steel, and composite. Accordingly, lifting capacity is another crucial factor to consider when choosing a sleeper gantry. It should be capable of lifting heavy sleepers and replacing them safely and efficiently.
