- a frame joined to the first and to the second positioning element;
- a first and a second stops joined to the frame, where each stop comprises a first part and a second part arranged facing the first and the second positioning element, being configured in such a way that in use the first and second stops are located on the external face of the two end sleepers to be positioned and where at least one of the first or second stops can be extended in the direction parallel to the track;
- and
- where the first and the second positioning element and the stop that can be extended are configured such that in their simultaneous extension to a pre-set value, they push the sleepers so as to square them.
