Tie-plugging machine

Railway Track and Structures, July, 2004

R-Mac Sales and Leasing and R-Solutions have developed the TPI-TG tie-plugging machine to extend the life of ties that are in good condition, but exhibit elongated or spike-kill holes. By injecting these ties with chemical tie-plugging material, their useful life expectancy is extended at a fraction of the cost of replacement. The machine is utilized with both rails in place and features a hydraulically-driven, single-axle drive system with clutch disconnect to move it independently of other equipment. Phone: 303-777-9692.
