When the job calls for moving a single large machine — a 180-ton crane, a pile driver, a 45-ton excavator — a flatcar transporter is often overkill. DymaxRail Shuttle Cars are compact, purpose-matched systems that pair a powered rail dolly with your specific equipment. Diesel, gas, or excavator-hydraulic power options. Remote or operator-controlled. Three configurations covering 45T to 180T capacity for bridge work, track construction, and remote maintenance sites.
Heavy-duty powered shuttle system for transporting crawler cranes and large excavators up to 180 tons by rail. The hydraulically driven dolly slides under the machine’s undercarriage; the machine lifts itself, and the shuttle moves it along the track. Features twin hydraulic drive rail axles, swiveling undercarriage plates, full air brakes, and remote control. Ideal for bridge construction and heavy equipment mobilization.
Compact shuttle car for moving pile drivers and drilling equipment to remote rail construction sites. 45-ton capacity with a side-shifting deck that adds 14 inches of clearance for tight work zones. Powered by gas engine or excavator hydraulics. Built for new track construction, catenary projects, and emergency response applications.
Dedicated rail transport for 36- to 45-ton excavators, powered by a self-propelled diesel trailing car. Fully remote-controlled, so the operator manages transport from the ground. Designed for track maintenance, vegetation removal, and remote-site work where the excavator needs to travel by rail between job zones.
