One-person operation of this heavy-duty, self-propelled spike retriever collects up to 95 percent of all spikes pulled by a conventional spike puller and deposits them in a work height tray for sorting, the company says. The operator has ample time to sort the reusable spikes and deposit them in kegs for immediate use by the following spike drivers. Up to 20 kegs of scrap, or extra reusable spikes, can be carried on the retriever's deck. A heavy-duty industrial engine and dual hydraulic systems independently drive the conveyor and propulsion units. Single-rail operation will support regauging gangs on either rail.
