ABSTRACT:
A traveling gantry arrangement for receiving, storing and transporting sets of transversely positioned track ties on a vertically adjustable tie carrier frame has a pair of tie-engaging grippers arranged on the frame for power-driven movement transverse to the track into engagement with the respective tie ends. The tie engaging grippers have support faces of a first width subtending the tie ends, and a pivotal support ledge for each tie end is associated with each tie engaging gripper. The support ledge has a second width substantially exceeding the first width, the widths being measured transverse to the track. A pivot extends in the direction of the track for pivotally supporting a respective support ledge for pivoting in a plane transverse to the track, and a drive pivots the support ledge about the pivot in the transverse plane.
