Vegetation & Snow

Stay Ahead of Every Season With Speed and Reliability

Traditionally, clogged ditches, plugged culverts, and mud spots required intensive, extended on-track remediation that caused costly rail traffic delays.

Vegetation Removal and Snow Fighting

BTE’s innovative and versatile vegetation and snow attachments help railroad maintenance crews maximize uptime throughout every season. They also help operations keep hi-rail machines productive every day of the year.

Whether your crew is clearing heavy snow and ice from switches during a winter storm or tackling overgrown vegetation in the spring, you’ll get the job done more efficiently with BTE attachments, each custom-designed by our expert engineers to upgrade power, dependability, versatility, and operator safety.
