TRT™

The McCulloch tracked crane is a versatile high reach crane designed for multiple rail environments offering many advantages over conventional methods. The rubber tracks allow the crane to be positioned almost anywhere on the railway making difficult lifts more manageable.

• The crane has a maximum lift of 990kg at 1.16 metre/ 250kg at 5 metres reach
• Has a maximum height of 6.75 metres
• It is fitted with a load limiting device to safeguard against overloading or overturning
• Is fully remote control (manual controls are available)
• Can easily be delivered by road transport to most railway access and is easily manoeuvred to work site
• Can totally eliminate the need for manual handling
• Useful for reaching/servicing overhead gantry’s

The TRT plough attachment is a safe and economical alternative to clearing ballast from the sleeper ends for rail drops and ballast profiling. The TRT Plough eliminates manual handling and fatigue and can work on most track types. There can be multiple TRT and plough systems used in conjunction with each other if there is particularly heavy ballast on site.

• Has the capability to clear the majority of ballast from either side of the track on the sleeper ends
• Can work under live OLE (catenary)
• Height of ballast plough can be altered for different sleeper heights
• Can easily be delivered by road transport to most railway access
• Can save time and money on manual process of ballast clearing
• Reduces fatigue on manual alternatives
• Can plough over 1 mile of ballast on an average midweek shift

The TRT Jib attachment is a safe and practical alternative to allow lifting operations in multiple positions to take place in live OLE areas. The Jib is capable of lifting various track furniture up to a maximum of 500kgs.

• Can lift a maximum weight off 500kg at 1 metre/200kg at 2.5metres
• Ideal for removal and installing of points/switch motors or hollow bearers
• It is fitted with a load limiting device to limit operation that would cause overloading or overturning
• Has hydraulic control levers out with the Arc of slew to protect operator
• Comes with adjustable cradle to allow multiple lift uses
• Can easily be delivered by road transport to most railway access
• Can work under live OLE (catenary)
• Can totally eliminate the need for manual handling
• Hydraulic restrictions in place to ensure TRT cannot be operated while jib is use
• Is fully remote control (manual controls are available)

The TRT has been fitted with an adaptor to power various hydraulic tools. Using the TRTs power source reduces the need for additional plant and eliminates many environmental issues.

• Rail Saw
• Reduces emissions from conventional methods
• Eliminates injuries from a pull start chord
• Eliminates the possibility of pull chord breaking
• Substantially lower noise emissions
• Eliminates the need for petrol in tunnels
• Hydraulic bypass to immobilize TRT when saw is in use

TRT’s in multiple can be used to move, remove and install switches and crossings (metal work) up to 140ft, TRTs can move larger units providing more TRTs are used.  The TRTs can carry out these operations under live OLE. Due to the unique S&C handling heads there is no undue stress to the S&C units during transport and installation.

• Can move switches and crossings safely from access to install
• Scrap can be removed from site
• Can work under live OLE (catenary)
• Can easily be delivered by road transport to most railway access and is easily manoeuvred to work site
• Can move large switches with multiple machines in a safe and controlled manner
