The Rail Gap Adjuster jaws grip the rail head and holds any tension or compression present in the rail. This leaves clear access to allow removal of fishplates and replace insulating end posts. The Rail Gap Adjuster makes it possible to replace a failed end post without the need to wait for the rail to cool down. This can be done in less than half an hour, reducing train delays and saving significant sums of money in the process.

• The Enerco KT-30 is a hydraulically operated hand pumped Rail Gap Adjuster, capable of pushing or pulling rail ends with a force of up to 300 Kn or 30 tonnes.
• Its weight is carried on built-in rollers, for easy movement along the rail. Because it is a totally self contained unit no separate power source is required to operate it.
• Network Rail Approval Certificate No. NP/PT/0004/99
