Bridge Work

The Solution to Simpler, Safer Bridge Tie Replacement

Maintaining railroad bridges is one of the most demanding tasks in track upkeep. The elevated, often remote nature of these structures presents unique logistical and safety challenges, requiring specialized equipment and skilled crews to perform the work efficiently and securely. Limited access, weight restrictions, and exposure to the elements can further complicate bridge tie replacement and other critical maintenance tasks.

A Vital Tool for Bridge Tie Replacement

Powerful jack cylinders lift the rails off bridge ties to make tie replacement simpler and safer for operators. Paired with and powered by the purpose-built BTE-308 Hi-Rail Excavator, the Trackjack is comfortably controlled from inside the operator’s cab.

The BTE-308 Hi-Rail Mini Excavator is an ideal partner for the BTE Trackjack, made to maximize productivity on bridge and tie applications. With a lightweight and compact design, the BTE-308 can mobilize quickly across any work site. With its robust 69.5 hp engine, it has the heft to tackle heavy-duty bridge and tie tasks, too, including changing ties and tamping.

BRIDGE MODE SAFETY BENEFITS

BTE’s innovative, advanced Bridge Mode alerts operators to instability and limits risky movements until both the machine and boom are repositioned safely.

Roller Rail Clamps provide additional stability during bridge operations by ensuring the machine and the rail are coupled securely, while still allowing travel. Bridge Mode monitors whether clamps are open or closed, and when clamps are not engaged, alerts activate and swing stops to prevent dangerous movement.
