Progress Rail, MOW Division: Ride-on Kribber Adzer

Progress Rail, MOW Division


The kribber adzer Model 38-5 combines two proven concepts in one machine, the company says. Designed for the operator to ride on the machine, the unit has two sweeper brooms featuring two-inch-diameter solid rubber elements and a hydrostatically driven adzer head. To maximize stability and provide smooth, constant propulsion, each of the two crawler assemblies of the model 38-5 spans three ties at all times. The adzer head is independently suspended for uniform adzing and minimal surface irregularity. The operator rides in a totally enclosed, air-conditioned cab. An optional dust control system is available for environmental and personnel protection.
