950 Tie Crane
The heavy-duty 950 is designed to perform efficiently on both wood and concrete ties in high and low production tie replacement programs. The upper deck and workhead are capable of rotating 360 degrees in both directions making it very versatile. The articulate boom allows an 800 pound lift capacity 24 feet from center of track.
The model 950 can also be equipped with a 4,000 pound capacity wench and fail-safe rail clamps for handling caps and stringers within 10 feet of track centerline while working on bridges and trestles.
