MKT-1P Trench-cutting machine

The MKT-1P Trench - cutting machine is specifically designed to rehabilitate track shoulders, to clean and widen the existing side ditches, to dig new trench- es, and to shape inner and outer slopes.
The contaminated ballast exca- vated from under the sleeper butts are loaded either in the muck disposal train (SZ type) standing on the same track, or into the cars of the train on the adjacent track.

Advantage

Profiling of the ballast bed shoulders and the railway slopes
Excavating the contaminated ballast from under the sleeper butts and loading the material either into the Muck Disposal Train standing on the same track, or into the ballast car on the adjacent track
A powerful 10-bucket rotor with a 180° swivel capability
The conveyor has an end section, which is lifted in the operating mode and lowered in the travel mode - which allows excluding the use of storage hoppers
