The Rail wheels can be set to either Narrow, Standard or Broad Gauge and are propelled by hydraulic motors installed within the rail system. Excavators are rigorously commissioned and tested so every Hi Rail Machine is Rail Ready when it leaves the workshop.
Harrybilt Engineering offers a turnkey solution for all Track Excavators, this includes the supply of the excavator, the installation of the Hi Rail System and supporting registration for required networks around Australia so the machine is Rail Ready when it leaves the workshop. The team can also handle the purchase and installation of a Tiltrotator along with Harrybilt Engineering’s own wide range of Rail Maintenance Attachments.
Harrybilt Engineering have developed the Hi Ride Rail Guidance System as a Standard Gauge set-up, which uses a Friction Drive mode to travel over train stops and some train platforms.
The RGS Hi Ride is AS7502 compliant, braking with integrated disk service brakes and fail-safe tread brakes on the rail wheels. The system is Rail Guidance (direct drive) for superior stability, pulling and stopping performance with a revised load chart and a compliant twist mechanism for each configuration.
Harrybilt Engineering has developed a Triple Gauge and Dual Gauge Rail System designed specifically for the Wacker Neuson DV90 base machine.
The Friction Drive System converts wheeled dumpers for rail applications, enabling seamless operation on both road and rail networks.
Retractable rail wheel assemblies installed on the dumper positioning the vehicle on the rail, allowing the rear tyres continue to provide traction and braking, whilst providing train stop clearance. The rear end has a mechanical twist mechanism to suit the rail regulator’s requirements. All four rail wheels are fitted with park brakes to prevent “runaways”, as well as service brakes to make the unit more agile & productive.
All controls will be operated from the driver’s cabin. All hydraulic components are matched to the dumper’s specifications for flow rate, operating pressure and temperature.
