Faster clipping method
Herzog’s Clip Car was developed to clip ties safely, quickly, and efficiently. The machine fastens rails to ties during new track construction, rail changeout, and distressing projects.
ClipCar Process
Position plastic insulators
The rail is shifted using a guiding roller, allowing plastic insulators to be easily positioned on the outer sides of the rail.
Fasten clips
The clips are fastened by a hydraulically-operated workhead that secures the clip into place. This method reduces the likelihood of rail clips getting misaligned.
Secure concrete ties
Concrete ties are automatically secured once insulators and steel clips have been properly placed by Herzog operators.
Clip Car Features
Tandem clipping mechanism Capable of clipping in a curve and two rails at a time for a more efficient process. No need for additional workers to follow behind the machine.
Ample storage capacity The car bins can transport 8,000 feet of material so crews don’t have to frequently refill maximizing crucial track time windows.
Operator workstations Four workstations are located low on the machine’s frame providing a convenient location for workers to operate and monitor the machine.
