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.
