ABSTRACT:
A device for the levelling and profiling of railroad ballast beds has two lateral ploughs, one designed to operate outside each rail. Each lateral plough is identical and comprises a blade connected through a joining member to a main support arm which is movable in a plane substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the track. The support arm is connected to the chassis of the device by means of a hydraulic jack acting at one point on the arm and a double link connected to a second spaced point on the arm. The hydraulic jack is operable to adjust the height of the blade and a further hydraulic jack is connected to the double link to adjust the lateral position of the blade. The arm is preferably of rectangular cross-section and arranged between two lateral supporting walls of the chassis. The joining member is capable of pivoting action about two mutually perpendicular axes and two further hydraulic jacks are arranged to change the angular position of the joining member in relation to the support arm and the angular position of the blade in relation to the joining member.
