The rail wheels have a friction drive hub attached to them that engages with the tires. As the tire rotates the drive hub, the rail wheels are driven. The mechanical friction drive system is reliable, because is it uses the road axle drive line system for propelling and braking. When the loader is on rail, the articulated frame is hydraulically locked to keep the front and rear rail wheels in alignment. Depending on the environment, the machine can be equipped with air filled, foam filled or solid rubber cushioned tires.The retractable Friction Drive Hi-Rail Gear is attached to the frame of the machine in such a way that allows a front-end loader to be used as a standard loader, material handler and also as an on-rail mobile railcar mover to provide optimum performance and machine utilization. The front loader linkage that swings 180° comes with a quick coupler to accept a large variety of tools such as forks, buckets, material handing arms as well as many other tools to be able to perform various tasks on and off rail.Are you seeking the best HI-RAIL SWING LOADER?
