  1. Caterpillar Hi Rail: Versatile Heavy Machinery for Roads and Railways

  2. CATERPILLAR HI RAILequipment is a specialized type of heavy machinery that can operate both on roads and railways. This unique capability makes them highly versatile and useful for a range of industries, including construction, mining, and transportation.

  3. Hi Rail equipment, also known as road-rail vehicles, are modified with rail gear that enables them to travel on tracks in addition to roads. This gear typically includes flanged wheels, which are required to stay on the tracks, as well as a hydraulic system to lift the wheels off the ground when traveling on roads. Caterpillar is a well-known manufacturer of heavy equipment, including Hi Rail vehicles. Their machines are designed to be powerful, reliable, and easy to operate. They can be customized to suit the specific needs of a customer, with options such as different wheelbase lengths, load capacities, and lifting capabilities.

  4. Caterpillar Hi Rail machines Caterpillar Hi Rail machines are used in a variety of applications. In the construction industry, they are often used to transport materials and equipment to job sites that are located near railway lines. This eliminates the need for multiple trucks or cranes, saving time and money. In the mining industry, Hi Rail equipment can be used to transport ore or other materials from the mine site to the processing plant. This can be done more efficiently and cost-effectively than using traditional transportation methods.

  5. Caterpillar Hi Rail machines are also used by transportation companies to perform maintenance and repair work on railway tracks. These machines can travel to the job site on the tracks and then switch to the road to move between locations. • Overall, CATERPILLAR HI RAILequipment is a highly useful and versatile type of heavy machinery. Its ability to operate on both roads and railways makes it a valuable asset to a range of industries. With its reputation for quality and performance, Caterpillar is a top choice for those in need of reliable and efficient Hi Rail machines.

  6. FRICTION DRIVE HI-RAIL GEAR - CATERPILLAR WHEEL LOADERS • Friction Drive Hi-Rail Gear -Caterpillar Wheel Loaders • With the addition of Friction Drive Hi-Rail Gear the wheel loader can self propel on rail up to 20 MPH. The system includes high ply tires and Rims. The installation includes an alarm system to alert the operator if the friction drive hub is not in proper contact with the tire to develop adequate traction or braking. The rail wheels are all hardened forged steel. The drive hubs are cast steel that are designed to to prematurely wear or cut the tire. Each system is designed to fit each model loader to provide best ground clearance and approach/departure angles so the loader performance is not compromised when operating on the ground.
