Track Rail Transporters

The TRT™ is a tracked machine which is powered by a Tier 4 compliant diesel engine enabling a hydraulic system to move and handle rails and track furniture.

The TRT™ removes and installs all profiles of rail and any gauge of track. A pair of TRT™ machines can be used to move lengths of rail up to 216m as well as transport, remove and install associated steel work i.e switches and crossings.

• Reliability of 99.7% in 15 years of operation on the UK network
  
• Approved to work under live OverheadLine Equipment (OLE) and Any Line Open working (ALO)
• Removes, transposes, moves, and installs rail in a safe controlled manner
• Ideal for use on both single line and multiple track layouts
• Can easily cross multiple tracks, including areas with conductor rails
• Capable of threading rail past line side equipment and masts
• Can operate in confined spaces such as tunnels and bridges
• Compact size and manoeuvrability allow rapid deployment and recovery
• Can be stored line side to reduce need for demobilisation
• Remote control operation and blue halo exclusion zone, ensures people and plant separation at all times

We have a wide range of complimentary TRT™accessories which reduce the number of additional tools and the TRT™ equipment required on site.

• Recovery Engine: This engine enables completion of the task and recovery of the vehicle from track locations.
• Plough: Clears most ballast from either side of the track, on the sleeper ends.
• Hydraulic Tools: Versatile front-mounted connectors that power various hydraulic tools such as rail drills, impact wrenches and profile grinders.
• TRT™ Mounted Jib: The jib attachment allows safe lifting of track furniture up to 990kgs in live OLE areas.
• Switches & Crossings: Unique S&C handling heads can move switches and crossings safely, from access to install.
• Rail Saw: A zero-emission, hydraulic, long arm saw designed to allow full use in a standing position, reducing fatigue and the risk of back injury.

Other accessories are available, please contact us for more information on the full range.
