Equipment update: Surfacing and tamping options

摘要

For more than 40 years, Ballast Tools Inc. (BTI) has provided ground-engaging parts designed to provide increased wear resistance and improved performance. The company offers tungsten carbide ground-engaging tools for tampers, ballast regulators, undercutters, and tie and rail maintenance equipment. BTI engineers and manufactures tamping tools in various styles for many tamping machines, all produced with solid tungsten carbide protection. The carbide features a high-impact stretch, and can resist wear and impact applications longer than steel, according to BTI. The extended part life helps reduce downtime and increase production and crews' efficiency.
