Sleeper Changer

The sleeper changer is a professional railway maintenance attachment matched with wheel excavators, specially designed for removing, moving and installing sleepers to replace manual handling and speed up track renewal work.

Fabricated with heavy-duty thick steel plate, it is equipped with independent hydraulic clamping jaws with adjustable gripping force, holding concrete and wooden sleepers firmly without slipping or surface damage. The attachment features 360° rotation and multi-angle tilting, enabling smooth extraction of old sleepers and precise placement of new ones, even in narrow spaces of curved tracks and turnouts.

Quick hitch design allows fast switching with ballast cleaner, tamping head and other tools, so one excavator can complete the full set of track maintenance including ballast cleaning, tamping and sleeper replacement. Its wear-resistant impact-proof structure stands up to harsh ballast working conditions, widely used in railway overhaul, track renovation and mass sleeper replacement projects to reduce track possession time.
