Switch Winterization
Winter is coming and your track cleaners are hard at work. Unfortunately, track cleaners aren't effective for switches. This can be a serious problem since clogged switches covered in ice can fail to align properly. Without necessary cleaning, these critical spots may represent a slipping hazard for your employees especially during inclement weather.
To insure your switches are safe and ready for winter, you need the power of Hulcher's air excavation service featuring the Air Spade® and our hi-rail Vacuum Truck. The Air Spade®/Vacuum Truck combo winterizes switches more effectively than any other method. The Air Spade® uses high-pressure air to loosen event the most stubborn leaves, sticks, grease, spill residue and other debris from your switch points. Once loosened from the track, our hi-rail vacuum truck picks it up the debris quickly, leaving the switch clean and ready for the coming weather.
Hulcher’s air excavation service is perfect for winterizing all the switches in your yard or for hitting the tough spots that need attention the most. Our professionals can perform this service on their own or in tandem with your roadway crews to winterize your busy rail yard quickly, with minimal impact to your operations.
Now is the time to make sure your switches are ready for winter. Let Hulcher’s air excavation service clean your switches before the first snowstorm hits!
