Discover how Mitchell Railgear’s Track Excavator Hi-Rail system transforms your standard excavator into a high-performance rail-ready machine.
When it comes to demanding rail maintenance and construction jobs, versatility is everything. That’s why Mitchell Railgear offers a powerful solution: the Track Excavator Hi-Rail system—a fully integrated setup that allows your excavator to operate both on and off the tracks.
What Is a Track Excavator Hi-Rail System?
A Track Excavator Hi-Rail system equips a crawler excavator with specialized rail gear, enabling it to safely travel on railway tracks. The rail gear, typically mounted at the front and rear of the machine, lifts and guides the excavator’s tracks onto standard gauge rails, allowing precise movement along the rail line.
