Machine Description

The KNG 800C is a versatile ballast regulator with international appeal. It can be converted from standard 1435mm gauge to one of 3 narrow gauges (914mm, 1000mm, 1066mm). This is a great feature for railroads and contractors that need to provide maintenance for railroads with different track gauges in the same rail system. The regulator is equipped with a one pass type plow, reversible side wings, and a broom attachment. The machine is built on a lengthened mainframe allowing easy access to components.
Machine assembly includes parts required to make the conversion from 1435mm to one narrow gauge
