The SB60 Automaster is a high-performance sleeper replacer designed for safe and efficient sleeper replacement and Fastclip installation in a single integrated operation. Operated directly from the excavator cabin, the SB60 Automaster eliminates the need for additional personnel within the track area, significantly reducing the risk of work-related injuries.
Equipped with a robust worm screw rotator, the unit enables precise sleeper handling from both the center and side of the track — ideal for complex environments such as tunnels, platforms, and embankments. Its compact and versatile design ensures compatibility with most sleeper types and track gauges ranging from 1000 mm to 1600 mm.
To extend its functionality, the SB60 Automaster can be equipped with buckets for ballast excavation and removal of wet or contaminated materials, making it a flexible tool for multiple tasks in rail maintenance.

Combining sleeper replacement and clip installation in a single process reduces the need for on-track personnel, minimizing the risk of work-related accidents and ensuring a safer work environment.
The built-in Automaster system allows for precise Pandrol Fastclip installation during sleeper replacement, improving both speed and safety in track maintenance operations.
A durable worm screw rotator enables the replacement of sleepers from both the center and the side of the track, allowing for efficient operation even in confined areas such as tunnels and platforms.
With the ability to equip the unit with buckets for ballast or wet material excavation and an integrated clipping system, the SB60 Automaster performs multiple tasks using a single attachment — simplifying logistics and reducing the need for tool changes.
