Focused Technology Solutions: Battery-Operated EclipEase Nearing Launch
Written by David C. Lester, Engineering Editor and Editor-in-Chief, Railway Track & StructuresFocused Technology Solutions—a Marmon/Berkshire Hathaway Company—has announced that the first-ever battery-operated e-clip inserter/remover, the EclipEase, is coming soon.
Expected to hit the market in December 2021, the newest battery-operated tool in the Focused Technology arsenal will use a Milwaukee d-handle impact to insert and remove e-clips in as few as 1-3 seconds. Its built-in trolley will allow for easy movement and positioning on rail plates.
Like the other tools in the Focused Technology arsenal, the EclipEase is lightweight, user-friendly and operates with zero hydraulic fluids or hoses. It is the first battery-operated e-clipper and will help increase productivity and safety in rail yards.
“The EclipEase is another amazing breakthrough from our amazing team,” Focused Technology Solutions President Peter Bartek said. “Like our other battery-operated tools, the EclipEase is going to save railway systems millions, while also increasing their productivity and eliminating the need for hydraulic- and gas-powered tools.”
