Side-Load Rail Carts

Side-Load Rail Cart & Excavator

Hytracker Side-Load Rail Cart

Hytracker Manufacturing Ltd. has designed their Rail Carts as a mobile working platform to work integrally with a hydraulic excavator. The Hytracker Rail Cart system allows an excavator to be completely self-contained, self propelled and capable of moving on track at speeds up to 25 mph. The carts are driven by the hydraulics of the excavator.

The excavator sits sideways on the cart, normally we shorten the tracks and under carriage. This determines your width running down the rail. You still need to verify clearances in your work area. Side-Load Rail Carts and 20 Metric ton excavators are mainly used for day to day track maintenance, normally paired with a Hytracker Ditching Gondola for moving material. All Hytracker equipment use similar parts, which means fewer parts to stock for customers, they also use Fail Safe brakes on all wheels. Hytracker Rail Carts are designed to operate on grades up to 2.2 per cent.
