The Rail Grab has been designed by Harrybilt Engineering to pick up and manoeuver lengths of rail up to 1700kg in weight.
The grab includes 2 hydraulically operated jaws to grip and hold the rail. The hydraulic cylinders controlling these jaws are fitted with counterbalance valves to keep the rail secure even in the event of hose failure.

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.
It is designed to be as light as possible to make it attractive as an attachment for excavators, backhoes etc in order that their lifting capacity is not overly reduced, while at the same time being as strong as possible to provide trouble free operation throughout its working life.
The use of this attachment will reduce the need for manual handling inputs thus minimising the OH&S risks to persons engaged in the many operations this machine may undertake.
