DYMAXINC RAIL RAIL RIDER

Product Overview

From embankments to under bridges, take your excavator to hard-to-reach locations with the Dymax Rail Rider MPX.

Unlike any other equipment in the market, the Rail Rider MPX eliminates the need for undercarriage alterations. Use your existing excavator without limiting yourself to a rail-only gear installation. The Rail Rider MP works on multiple brands of excavators and allows you to retain your equipment’s original value. Switch your equipment without spending more money on a new conversion kit or high cost, permanent machine modifications.

  • Minimal Machine Changes — Adds rail capability without the complexity of a full hi-rail conversion.
  • Simple & Familiar Controls — Easy operation designed around existing excavator functions.
  • Cost-Effective Rail Access — Ideal for contractors seeking occasional or light-duty rail guidance capability.
