Power Pusher Rail Movers
Power Pusher Rail Movers’™ remote controlled, battery-powered vehicles enable a single person to effectively move massive railcars. Both on rail and off-rail operation allow these powerful movers to be a productive asset for any rolling stock operation. With unmatched maneuverability and intense power, the movers can safely solve even the most challenging rolling stock concerns.
One operator can safely move 10 to 225 tons with Power Pusher’s battery-powered Rail Movers. The machines are hi-rail enabled for both on and off-track operation with infrared or radio controlled remote.
Design includes a soft start throttle for smooth takeoff, fast and slow speeds zero to three mph and zero degree turning for precise, fluid movement.
Symmetrical operation (forward/reverse) provides limited de-tracking. Low profile allows under car operation. Powered braking system and parking brakes provide worry-free stopping.
