Enerco KT-30 Rail Gap Adjuster

Enerco KT-30 Rail Gap Adjuster

The Enerco KT-30 is a hydraulically operated hand pumped Rail Gap Adjuster, capable of either pushing or pulling rail ends with a force of up to 300 Kn or 30 tonnes.

• It carries its own weight on built-in rollers, for easy transit along the rail and because it is totally self contained, bulky powerpacks are not required.
• The unit grips the rail head, leaving access to remove fishplates and replace insulating end posts, while still holding any tension or compression present in the rail.
• The Rail Gap Adjuster makes it possible to replace a failed end post without the need to wait for the rail to cool down.
  • This can be done in less than half an hour, reducing train delays and saving significant sums of money in the process.

Used For:

• Replacing Insulated Joint End Posts without removing the fish plates.
• Adjusting the gap on jointed track, Switches and Crossings to correct for creep movement.
• Replacing broken and worn fishplates using our Master 35® Impact Wrench or other suitable device.
• Adjusting breather switches utilising the nearest fish plate - joint.
• The KT-30 can push/pull up to 100mm (4") in a single operation and up to 250mm (10") with several passes.
