Offered in gauges of 36 inches, one meter, and 42 inches, the KNG 800 is a powerful track dressing machine specifically designed for narrow gauge applications. The short (15') wheel base, and narrow track allow this machine to negotiate tight curves. The frame has been widened to ensure a stable working platform. The ballast equipment is designed to fit in a narrow (9') travel envelope. The low ratio axle provides greater tractive effort, allowing the machine to work on steeper grades. The large cab design is based upon that used for the KBR925, providing superior visibility, and increased headroom, with no components mounted on the roof. The cab is equipped with joystick controls, a comfortable operator's seat with mechanical suspension, and is fully pressurized with heating and air conditioning. The 240 horsepower engine is mounted in an insulated fiberglass shroud with large hinged doors for easy engine access. Exhaust has been routed to the ground to improve operator visibility, and prevent contamination of the intake system. The hydraulic pump and control system is the same as on the KBR925. The ballast equipment incorporates a heavy duty one pass transfer plow with a skid and brace. Pneumatic locking pins are used to hold the plow blades in position. The blades and wear plates are made of T-1 steel, and use a bolt on design to allow for easy field replacement. Reversible side wings are constructed of T-1 steel with bolt on replaceable wear plates, and a unique template door break away system to minimize potential damage. Articulated template doors provide excellent control while dressing the shoulder. The wing structure and control cylinders are mounted low on the frame to provide superior operator visibility. The reversible broom incorporates a T-1 housing with bolt on replaceable wear elements, and an on-the-fly adjustable ballast deflector.
