Rail Tie Straightener

RTS

Overview

The Racine Rail Tie Straightener precisely repositions skewed concrete ties under full crib conditions using joystick-controlled hydraulics and dual reference lasers. Its integrated ballast management system maintains track stability, while the high-performance diesel powertrain and enclosed operator cab ensure efficient, all-weather operation. The RTS can also be configured as ballast cribbers for out-of-face anchor application in a full crib.
