The Ballast Transport and Spreading Wagon manufactured by Epsilon Solentek is an indispensable piece of equipment for railway track maintenance. This special wagon is designed to spread ballast material into and outside the rails in a controlled manner, thereby maintaining the smoothness and stability of the railway infrastructure. Thanks to its pneumatic and manual opening/closing systems, ballast discharge can be performed with exceptional flexibility, offering precise discharge at the rail head level (-130/-100 mm).
