Machine for treating rail pads

摘要

A machine for treating a track composed of two rails fastened to ties and rail pads interposed between the rails and ties has a machine frame supported on the track for mobility in a longitudinal direction. Mounted to the machine frame are two vertically adjustable track lifting units spaced from one another in the longitudinal direction, each being associated with a tie displacement device having a pressing element. The latter is arranged for application to a tie to be displaced with the aid of a drive adjusting the pressing element transversely to the longitudinal direction. A vertically adjustable stripping device positioned between the two track lifting units is provided for removing the rail pads situated on the displaced tie.
