Developed by Harrybilt Engineering, this piece of equipment has been specifically designed to provide an efficient method of handling rail. First designed in 2007 to meet a niche market, it has proved itself as a reliable performer and has contributed to the laying and maintenance of many hundreds of kilometres of rail track.
The grab will grip under the head of the rail for lift. The hardened point allows the threader to slide under rail, even through ballast and the vertical and horizontal rollers provide low resistance support so the threader can slide along the rail providing lift of the rail on or off the sleeper.
This reduces manual handling and the O H & S issues related to moving heavy rail.
It is recommended that the Rail Threader be used with a Rotating head fitted to the excavator.
mDesigned to fit over the head of the rail, and is a means of dragging or pulling lengths of rail.
Rail Block includes 1 x 12 ton Bow Shackle
Maximum Working Load Limit (WLL): 12 tonne
This Rail Maintenance Attachment has been designed to withstand the harshest working conditions. While the original Rail Threader is reliable and efficient, there was demand for the attachment to last longer and have a higher lifting capacity for larger excavators.
This new development has made this the perfect Rail Maintenance Attachment for laying and maintaining many hundreds of kilometres of rail track, while also being a longer lasting product in the tough Australian conditions.
Any original Rail Threader can be upgraded to be Heavy Duty.
A general purpose grab which can be used for moving or side insertion of steel, wood or concrete sleepers.
Includes rubber pads which can be removed if necessary to suit individual user requirements/applications.
Weight: 350kg
This attachment is designed to be used with a Tilt Rotating Head to maximise its versatility over a wide range of operations in areas such as Environmental Waste Management, Civil Works, Building Industry and Landscaping & Grounds Management.

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.
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.
