General

The BRV type track brushing tool is designed to clean the track by removing surplus ballast.
The BRV works with wooden or concrete sleepers.
The BRV is fitted to the end of the arm of a rail-road digger and pushed along by it. The tool is
controlled directly via the digger controls. When going over level crossings and other track
equipment, the digger will need to lift the BRV to avoid damaging the rubber tubes.
The BRV is fitted with a lifting bail to simplify handling operations and facilitate inspections.
The standard version of the BRV is designed to run on a track with gauge 1435 mm and fits
into the upper part of the rolling stock construction gauge UIC 505-1.
