NEW TIE INSERTER DEMONSTRATED ON THE ROCK ISLAND

Design features and operation of the Fairmont W119-A tie inserter unit that is designed to pick up ties from the track shoulder and insert them in the final position in the track without the need for any manual help other than that of the operator. With the tie in position to be inserted, the boom is automatically leveled in relation to the track. Simultaneously, a hydraulic actuator on the outer boom end causes an upward force to be exerted on the tie end entering the tie chute.
