E-Clip/PR Clip Remover – FP-186-EYE

The FP-186-EYE is designed to remove Pandrol E and PR Clips (elastic fasteners) that are broken at the shoulder or severely weathered that conventional methods are no longer successful.

The 186-EYE can be used on rail sizes from 41kg/m to 68kg/m rail using traditional concrete sleepers, and can be swivelled from one side of the rail to the other in a matter of seconds. Additionally, the machine removes frozen/weathered clips that have corroded to the point where the wire is so thin that conventional hand tools and machinery that remove the clips by contacting with the top wire section, immediately break the clip.

Clips are removed when the machine strikes the end of the clip inside the shoulder and punches the clip out using a hydraulic breaker, while a backstop cups the shoulder and supplies a reaction force in both driving the clip and removing the moil from the shoulder.

By using the “186-EYE Broken E-Clip Remover”, injuries from traditional methods of removing these clips (swinging hammers) have been eliminated. These are, but not limited to:

• Back Strain
• Repetitive Strain Injury
• Hammer Strikes to Legs
• Damage to Feet Through Striking or Clips Hitting Ball of Foot
