Attachment
Trencher-Style Attachment for Spot Maintenance and Cleaning Out Cribs Between Ties

overview

Inspired by our industry-leading BTE Undercutter, the BTE Cribber attachment features a proprietary carbide-protected cutting chain that’s proven to withstand wear in the toughest conditions. Continuous action allows for faster, more efficient removal of ballast and debris, while chain guarding prevents damage to rails and ties.

Features

  • Trencher-style undercutting for spot maintenance
  • Continuous vertical rotations for faster, more efficient removal of ballast and debris
  • Tungsten carbide protected cutting chain for extra durability
  • Guarding on top side and nose prevents damage to rails and ties
  • Balancing boot for easy attachment movement

BTE Means It’s Built Better

Easier Operation

Guarding on the top side and nose of the cribber and a balancing boot ensure easy movement.

Faster Cleanup

With continuous rotations and a carbide-protection chain, our cribber clears fouled ballast in half the time.

More Productivity
