UK: Following two years of development, Terock Ltd has received Network Rail approval for its TRS330 rail shear, purpose-designed for cutting and clearing scrap rail.
The road-rail vehicle mounted shear has a 1 000-tonne cutting force for breaking 65 kg/m rail quickly and efficiently, with 360° rotation which enables it to handle rails which are part of a track panel or lying loose in any position. It can also cut tram rails, and — with a change of cutting knives — conductor rail.
