Sany SY85C National IV Rail Locomotive: The "Iron Man" of Railways! Change the pillow in just 40 seconds!

It is well known that the sleepers on railways are important components that bear the loads of rails and trains. The daily impact of high-speed and heavy-load trains has led to the hardening of railway tracks and the failure of sleepers, and the problem of safe train passage is about to occur. Therefore, railways need to undergo major overhauls every ten years to enhance the operational condition of the lines, improve transportation efficiency and meet demand.

In the past, changing railway sleepers was a physically demanding task. Hundreds of kilograms of concrete sleepers had to be carried by railway workers by hand or on their shoulders.

To do a good job, one must first sharpen one's tools. In response to the previous challenges of manual pillow changing and working conditions, Sany Heavy Machinery has dedicating itself to developing a dedicated machine for railway maintenance operations - the SY85C National IV track machine. This machine integrates professional efficiency, safety and reliability, low consumption and environmental protection, as well as intelligent comfort, meeting the diverse needs of customers.

The SY85C is equipped with a dual-drive track operation device independently developed by Sany, which can be used for both track movement and rail-wheel drive. Among them, the rail-wheel drive is equipped with a high-load drive motor independently developed by Sany, which operates quickly and is of reliable quality, with a maximum speed of over 10km/h.

The special attachments for sleeper changing operations, such as the ballast slab and the sleeper clamping device, are made of high-strength wear-resistant steel, which is sturdy, durable and has a long service life. They can be rotated 360° for clamping. With the multi-functional handle, the operation is as flexible and free as using both hands. The super large clamping force can easily handle 800 pounds of sleepers.

For work scenarios, the SY85C is also equipped with multiple operation modes for customers to choose from on their own. According to the characteristics of track operation, under the original S(economy), L (bucket), and B (crushing) modes, the H (high efficiency) mode is developed to match the power and actively utilize the capabilities of the main pump and engine. The pillow replacement can be completed within 40 seconds at the fastest, which is 50 times that of manual operation, and the operation efficiency is even better.

As a global leader in the construction machinery industry, Sany Heavy Machinery is committed to the research and innovation of products in niche fields. It continuously launches new types of excavators for various niche markets such as forestry machines, steel grabbers, and ship excavators, and is dedicated to providing solutions and creating value for customers, constantly exploring new development directions for the industry.
