Undercutter Bar

An undercutter attachment is an essential tool in railway maintenance, designed to remove old or contaminated ballast from beneath railroad tracks. Over time, ballast — the crushed stone supporting tracks — can become clogged with dirt, debris, and water, reducing its effectiveness in providing proper drainage and stability. By using an undercutter, rail operators can efficiently extract this compromised material, ensuring the track remains level and secure. Regular ballast maintenance extends the lifespan of the track structure and enhances overall rail safety.

At RCE Equipment Solutions, our undercutter attachments are built for durability and performance. Designed to tackle even the toughest rail conditions, our equipment ensures faster and more effective ballast removal. RCE manufactures many different sizes of undercutter bars depending on the size of the tool carrier.
