Rail Movers Can Safely Push or Pull More than 225 Tons

If safety, ergonomics and productivity are key factors for equipment selection when moving massive rolling stock, Power Pusher’s line of electric tugs provide a safe, cost-effective way to move heavy railcars. The company offers several models for moving rolling stock from one-quarter ton to 225 tons (500 pounds-450,000 pounds).

Power Pusher’s T-45 Rail Mover ™ industrial electric tug enables a single person to move 45 tons safely, reducing the challenge of moving massive railcars. The flexible mover operates on or off the rails for increased dexterity and efficiency, allowing for easy maintenance of railcars. Remote control operation is available as infrared or radio control for easy maneuvering. The powered hitch connects and disconnects to railcars via remote control for easy contact and performance. Companies can work with Power Pusher’s design engineers to customize the rail mover to meet their unique needs.
