Maintaining Railroad Tracks
As a contractor specializing in railroad maintenance, you should have an adequate inventory of heavy-duty machines and other hardware. If you don’t own any rail maintenance equipment, you could rent it from a reputable provider. There are plenty of powerful and versatile machines that could be directly deployed on standard railroad tracks in the United States of America. A tie crane is one of the most useful and reliable machines for railroad maintenance. As the name suggests, such rail maintenance equipment is engineered to properly handle concrete and wooden ties that are already installed on the tracks. Such a crane can maintain a cruising speed of slightly more than 20 mph on the tracks. The typical operating weight for a tie crane is slightly less than 40,000 pounds. Additionally, magnet cranes could effectively pick up any iron and other loose metallic hardware from railroad tracks.
Improving Rail Performance
When you deploy the latest rail maintenance equipment for your projects, you will optimize productivity and reduce operating costs. You should carefully consider the power, operating weight, travel speed and other capabilities of heavy-duty rail vehicles. If you deploy a machine with the correct specifications, you will save time and money on maintenance work. There are various attachments that could also be connected to powerful rail cranes. For example, plows and augers come in handy for clearing snow, mud and other debris from the right of way of operational railroad tracks.
