Why Rail Rider Backhoe Hi-Rail?
Rail work doesn’t happen where it’s easy—and getting equipment to the job is often the most expensive part. Transport, extra machines, and downtime all add up before work even begins.
Rail Rider eliminates that waste.
By converting your existing backhoe into a hi-rail machine, you reduce mobilization costs, simplify your fleet, and get crews to remote worksites faster—with one machine that works on and off rail.
OPTIONS
INSULATED DESIGN
For customers selecting insulated rail wheels, the rear 4-wheel dolly is upgraded to a stub-shaft rear axle design and includes high-strength poly shims, washers, and spacer plates.
All insulated models are made to order
LOADER COUPLER MOUNT RAIL WHEEL KITS
Front loader coupler-mounted railgear kits are available for select models. Contact your Dymax Sales Representative to confirm compatibility with your specific machine setup.
DymaxRail also offers specialized coupler packages with integrated hydraulic railgear.
INSTALLATION
The standard Rail Rider backhoe hi-rail system installs using a rear adapter and front bucket-mounted rail wheels. Installation involves welding, cutting, and profiling, and can be completed by a technician with moderate skill.
Coupler-mounted systems may require additional setup, including welding, assembly, and hydraulic or electrical integration, depending on the machine.
