Rail Handler - Safer, Quicker, Smarter
Dymax Rail Handler fits most makes and models of excavators and gives operators precision control when handling rail pieces up to 90' in length.
Don't Manhandle...RailHandle!
Dymax Rail Handler safely grabs rail from the pile without the need for workers to attach lifting straps, chains. No more manhandling your track by means of cranes, personnel on rail piles and rigging equipment. The Rail Handler does it for you and keeps you and your gang out of harms way. Dymax Rail Handler significantly improves efficiency and safety.
Faster Delivery of Rail to the welder!
Rail Handler - With or Without Rotation
The Rail Handler is available with 60 degrees of hydraulic rotation and side to side tilt cushioning that gives operators precise, controlled placement of rail while feeding flash butt welders.
Rotation is powered through an electro-hydraulic diverter valve kit provided with the Rail Handler.
The Rail Handler is also available without rotation to work with rotational tilt coupler systems.
Available in fixed or telescopic model depending on rail lifting requirements.
Telescopic models feature DymaxRail E-Z slide arms that collapse to 19'6" (5.94m) for transport and storage when not in use. When working the arms extend up to 30' (9.14m) for handling up to 80' (24.38m) pieces of rail.
All cylinders feature built in lock valves in case of pressure loss on machine
