Hytracker End Load Rail Carts

End Load Rail Carts are powered by the excavator that is fitted with a Hytracker conversion, providing a stable work platform on the rail with the use of various stabilization options. Available in various sizes to suit 20 – 30 ton excavators and able to travel at speeds of up to 25mph. End Load Rail Carts have the ability to get an excavator off the cart and clear rail anywhere to perform off track work or just to clear for trains. Operator and excavator can perform this task without any assistance from other personnel or equipment. Various tow carts, gondolas and ballast carts can be towed from either end.
