3333 Rail Gear for Mini Rubber Track Excavator - Non Driving
Description:
MITCHELL NON-DRIVING RAIL GEAR FOR MINI TRACK EXCAVATOR
Mitchell Rail Gear for Mini Track Excavators solves a problem for railroads and railroad contractors. The Mini Excavator can self-propel on the rail head with full stability on rail or off rail. During work cycles high speed travel is not required, but getting the machine to the work site may require higher speed travel. The excavator can be towed on rail when equipped with front and rear rail gear with the blade removed. The rail Gear is raised and lowered using the blade circuit. A selector valve will select either the front or rear rail gear.
Rail Gear in Position #1. Rail gear fully retracted (stowed position)
The rail gear retracts well out of the way, so the excavator is not inhibited while working on the ground.
Rail Gear Position #2. Rail gear on rail (work position)
The rail gear is positioned on the rail in guide mode where our 4-wheel independent suspension rail wheels guide the excavator on rail while working 360 degrees.
Rail Gear Position #3. Rail gear fully deployed (two position)
The rail gear is fully lowered the machine can be towed on rail by a rail truck equipped with Mitchell 4-wheel independent suspension. Both the truck and the excavator will self-compensate for the uneven track. The speed on the rail will depend on the condition of the track.
