Railroad Maintenance

|
Versatility for rails, pavement and
off-pavement |
 |
|
Gradall railroad maintenance machines combine exceptional versatility with a unique blend of mobility options. They are the ideal multi-task solutions for city commuter lines and railroads that need to control track-side vegetation, build and repair crossings, clean up landslides or replace rails and ties.
 |
Wheeled undercarriage offers sure-footed capability on paved surfaces as well as dirt and gravel. |
|
|
|
Diversified rail gears guide Gradall railroad maintenance machines quickly over tracks. Rail gears can be removed and a blade can be added for off-rail traditional excavator work. |
|
|
|
Telescoping boom design creates a low machine profile, allowing rail maintenance models to work efficiently in tunnels and under bridges where overhead space is limited. |
|
|
|
Rail Maintenance models are engineered for extra stability, able to lift from the front, back and both sides of the carrier. For even more stability, outriggers are available. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
The rubber-tired Gradall undercarriage is exceptionally stable, like a conventional crawler. But the Gradall undercarriage won’t damage paved surfaces. |
|
|
|
Automatic digging brakes provide the Gradall with convenience and time-saving productivity. |
|
|
|
While the carrier is moving, the telescoping boom and attachment can be raised out of the line of vision. |
|
|
|
The Gradall carrier's short tail swing makes it possible to work in tunnels and tight spaces. |
|
|
|
Stable during transit, the Gradall boom telescopes back over the carrier, further improving weight distribution. |
|
|
|
The Gradall telescoping boom increases drawbar pull, delivering greater push/pull capability. |
|
|
|
Carrier and upperstructure cabs are designed for operator comfort, with sound-deadening advantages and features that can reduce fatigue while increasing efficiency. A modern low-rear-profile design further enhances operator visibility. |
|
|
|
Operator training efficiency is further enhanced on some models by an adjustable joystick pattern system. Operators can choose Gradall, Deere or SAE systems using an in-cab switch. |
|
|
|
Most routine service points – oil, filters, hydraulic fluids, fueling – are accessible at ground level. |
|
|
|
Fleet management is more efficient because all railroad models share over 90% of replacement parts and attachments. |
|
|
|
All hydraulic hoses are located safely inside the boom. |
|
|
|
Quick coupler at the boom end lets a single operator change attachments in just minutes. Or, choose the Gradall Hydraulic Quick Coupler for fast attachment changes without leaving the operator cab. |
|
|
|
All Gradall excavator manufacturing locations are inside the USA. But sales and service locations are maintained on six continents. |
