Specifically designed for use off-track, Hulcher Services' undercutter is a revolutionary system designed to undercut track without wasting valuable track time.
The undercutter attaches to a Caterpillar® excavator and undercuts from an off-track location, allowing trains to keep moving. There is no longer a need for a set-out track or having to travel miles to get to a siding, thereby improving productivity.
Hulcher's undercutter scoops out contaminated gravel and mud and fouled ballast from beneath railroad tracks and can be used when the grade of the ground adjacent to the track is quite different from the grade of the track itself. It includes a control head (mounted on the Caterpillar® excavator) capable of pivoting the undercutter bar 180°.
Undercutting is frequently performed as an independent service for cleaning stretches of track. It is also deployed as part of larger maintenance of way and environmental projects.
The off-track undercutter supports various services including:
