Dymax Rail Tie Handlers

Dymax Rail Tie Handlers:

DymaxRail Tie Handlers or tie grapplers, are both tie inserters and tie extractors. They can change wood and concrete ties in minutes and can be used with backhoe loaders and excavators. Change standard railway ties or switch ties. Quickly change 20 to 50 ties per hour, and in some cases more, depending on the machine and operator performance. Dymax Rail Tie Handlers are built for years of productive use and service, and improve efficiency in tie changeouts

Powerful Grip and Hi-PerformanceWhale Fin Blade AttachmentBallast Rake Attachment

Powerful Grip and Hi-Performance:

All DymaxRail Tie Handlers come with heavy duty hydraulic cylinders that provide superior gripping power. DymaxRail Tie Handler features dual pivoting jaws and 360 degree rotation systems or can be adapted to fit tiltrotator coupler systems. Models are provided with a set of replaceable wood tie pads with carbide protection. Optional urethane pads are available for concrete tie handling applications. Available for excavators and backhoe loaders. Contact DymaxRail for specialized solutions.

Whale Fin Blade Attachment:

DymaxRail Tie Handlers feature optional bolt on whale fin for working from hi-railed position on bridge decks or in congested worksites. Operators can blade ballast and insert ties in congested worksite conditions. Whale fin can be removed when not in use.

Ballast Rake Attachment:

Optional ballast rake attachment features a single spear point for breaking up old ties. Hi strength ballast rake allows operators to crib material during railtie changeouts. Ballast Rake can be removed when not in use.

Hydraulic Requirements

DymaxRail Tie Handlers for construction machinery require multi-circuit hydraulics. For machines outfitted with only 1 tool circuit please note that it must be capable of two-way oil flow/control for open and close of the hydraulic squeeze cylinder. If you require a diverter valve kit to operate your rotation system please contact Dymaxrail sales. We can offer and price a standard electro-hydraulic diverter valve kit to power the rotation function.

CIR1 = Primary Circuit – The primary function of the work tool attachment

CIR2 = Secondary Circuit – The secondary function of the work tool attachment
