Spike Puller

A spike puller is a vital piece of railroad maintenance of way machinery specifically designed to remove rail spikes from ties. By automating the spike removal process, these machines significantly increase efficiency, allowing for faster operation than manual methods. The spike puller uses specialized mechanisms to grip and extract spikes with precision, reducing labor time and minimizing the risk of injury associated with manual removal. This capability is crucial during track repairs or upgrades, as it streamlines the maintenance process and helps ensure that rail infrastructure is kept in optimal condition. As a result, spike pullers are indispensable tools for railway maintenance crews worldwide.
