HARRYBILT ENGINEERING RAIL THREADER HEAVY

Product Overview

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.

Key Features

  • Little or no micro cracking of the ground outside the excavation line. (Cracking from hammers has been shown to reach up to 2m, depending on rock type). This can cause issues with existing infrastructure.
  • Minimised overbreak of trench line.
  • Minimal disturbance of trench face making for a safer more intact trench.
  • Lower noise impact than other methods.
  • Lower vibration impact.
  • Ability to reuse the material onsite as hardfill, thus reducing waste and increasing site efficiency.
  • Extremely reliable tools and Antraquip also have a range of Soft Soil mixing attachments which have used in NZ for Mud-Crete.

HARRYBILT ENGINEERING RAIL THREADER

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.
