Innovation
New York State DOT worked closely with a vendor to develop this guide rail equipment, which costs less than a truck-mounted pounder.. In most cases, this equipment will do everything a truck can do, but because it’s mounted to a loader it can be used where a truck cannot.
The GRT Loader/Driver Attachment Model UTSLIP6 uses the same boom assembly as the UTMD650 Maintenance Machine. It has a hydraulic demolition hammer for post driving, and a quick coupler that runs off the loader’s auxiliary hydraulic circuit.
Benefit and Implementation
These units cost less than a truck-mounted pounder, making it a useful supplement to the agency's maintenance fleet.
