PANEL LIFTER SYSTEM
Lifts up to 20,000lb per Panel Lifter Works Under OLE & Catenary Compact and Maneuverable
Revolutionizing the method of removing and replacing rail panels
With this technology, worldwide rail track maintenance and construction projects are completed in less time and with reduced operational costs.
The Panel Lifter machines eliminate manual handling and improve the accuracy, as well as increase the productivity of installations.
Panel Lifters are completely remote controlled, creating an instant exclusion zone while also eliminating safe handling concerns.
The speed of removal is critical during limited possession timelines to enable rework of the track foundation ahead of replacement. The Panel Lifter system has been successfully and ef ficiently overcoming rail logistics challenges for more than 10 years.
The Panel Lifter revolutionizes the method of removing and installing rail panels up to 330 feet in length swiftly, safely, and with greater ef ficiency than traditional methods.
