Nortrak's HST® system is a technical solution to the problem of being unable to properly surface track through the switch; where it is needed most. Poor surface causes accelerated wear, unusual maintenance and unnecessary risk.

Before HST, all rods had to be removed before surfacing, then reinstalled - causing more work or not doing the surfacing work at all. Nortrak has combined the rods into a hollow steel tie section, making the tie cribs clear for tamping operations.

• Improved switch life
• Production tamping
• Maintenance free insulation
• External basket adjustment
• Full cribs between ties
• Works with any switch machine
• Manual or power applications
• Positive gage control
• Reduced urgent trouble call outs
• Better switch adjustment

HST is available with "Blue Rods" and "Rotary Assist", or each of the products are available separately.
