Innovative Railroad Maintenance Equipment

Hi-rail Systems | MOW Attachments | Rail Carts | Equipment Movers | Custom Engineering

Turn your excavator or backhoe into a hi-rail machine.

Most hi-rail solutions require a compromise: a truck that can’t dig, lift, or run attachments, or a custom-built, chopped-up rail excavator.

Dymax Rail Rider is different. It’s a fully detachable hi-rail system that adapts to backhoes and excavators. Your machine stays your machine.

  • No cutting. No welding.
  • No permanent modifications.
  • Installs in days, not months.
  • Continued ROI.

WHERE NO PRODUCT EXISTS, WE BUILD ONE.

FIVE GENERATIONS OF BALDERSON ENGINEERING

The Balderson family was building innovative, durable attachments before most of the major equipment manufacturers existed. Five generations in, the problems have changed, but the starting point is the same.

Our customers describe a problem. We figure out how to build the solution.

Today, that work continues at DymaxRail — innovative hi-rail systems, rail carts, and specialized rail machines. If your problem is outside of the box, bring it to us.
