Dig, place, or retrieve materials
With the SlotMachine® and the SPS Self-Powered Slot®, mobile work platforms, you can tackle a wide range of jobs faster and more efficiently than ever before. Quickly maneuver either machine into position and begin ditch cleaning at up to 227 tonnes per hour, offloading aggregate at up to 408 tonnes per hour, or handling any number of other materials with similar agility.
Both consist of a series of short gondolas without the end bulkheads. An onboard excavator is free to move the entire length of the joined cars (up to 116 meters) while seated safely and securely on the floor. Material gets loaded the full length of the platform, so there’s no lost time switching out cars. Plus, setup and lockdown take only minutes, allowing you to make the most of limited work windows.
The SPS includes a power unit that moves the consist. Once provided an EIC, the consist can operate without train crews or locomotives.
