Octopus - 8 Sleeper

For excavators above 30-tonne

It is recommended that the series III Octopus attachment be used with a minimum 30 ton excavator fitted with a tilt rotating head for maximum efficiency and manoeuvrability.

The 'Octopus' Concrete Sleeper Handler range has been designed to simplify and speed up the safe laying of concrete sleepers for rail and tram networks.

First designed in 2003 to meet a niche market it has proved itself as a reliable performer and has contributed to many hundreds of kilometres of new rail track.

The Octopus can be fitted with a 70 deg slew ring though it is recommended that this attachment be used with a Tilt Rotating Head for maximum efficiency and manoeuvrability.
