Rail Rollers, Booms, Grapples
Rail Rollers and Roller Stands
Dymax Rail Rollers are ideal for laying new rail. Rollers are spanned every 10-20 ties depending upon gauge. Roller stands keep the Rollers organized from job to job. Street style rollers now available and feature a purpose built flat undercarriage for working in light rail, mass transit operations around the world.
RailCar Coupler Systems
Custom Railcar Couplers are often times needed to move rail cars with on-site mobile machines. They can quickly be adapted to either the front or back of wheel loaders or other machines to make on site machines more versatile. Put that older wheel machine back into use.
Fixed and Swinging Material Handling Booms
Fit most makes and models of wheel loaders and excavators. An optional hydraulic side to side feature allows the operator to position the machine close to the intended work and then precisely move the load to the exact final position. All done safely and efficiently.
