One of the latest acquisitions of TRTE is the improved railcars 1ADM-1.6 and ADMsh, complete with interchangeable working equipment: a drilling rig and a trencher.

In total, the enterprise received three units of such special equipment.

Thanks to it, you can clear the path of sand, snow and ice of any thickness. The maximum blade width is 14 meters, and the reinforced earth wings design allows to work with hard ground.
