A Rexquote Ballast Brush can be used to remove the surplus ballast from the track regardless of the sleepers being wooden, steel or concrete. The brush can comfortably brush 1 mile of track in 1 hour if a profile bucket has been used correctly to spread the surplus ballast across the sleepers. Weighing only 2 ton, the ballast brush is easy to lift on and off the track allowing the machine to connect to the brush and start work in a matter of minutes.
