The HKS 290 is a rear-mounted snow plough for rail vehicles. On one hand it allows the thorough snow removal between the rails – a low clearing rail reaches as far as 50 mm below the top of the rail – on the other hand it is used to widen the track. Thanks to its specific design, it creates a pull effect which throws the snow far away. The swing-out-blades can be swung in together or separately and so the width in transport position is reduced to approx. 2.4 m. Optionally with depth limitation, electronic transport-position monitoring, opposite-track blocking.
