Railway Freight Yards
Loading and clearing open wagons of coal, ore and scrap where space beside the track is tight.
What the machine
has to handle
Beside the track, space is limited and every wagon has to be reached across its full width. A raised view into the wagon body and a reach that covers the siding decide which machine fits.
Typical challenges
- Working beside the track in a narrow strip of yard
- Reaching across the full width of open wagons
- A clear view into the wagon body
- Releasing wagons on schedule
Typical materials
Which chassis
fits your site
The chassis follows the layout of your site; reach, power and grab follow the material and output.

Questions about
railway freight yards
Send us your working conditions and we will answer for your site.
How do we choose between a fixed and a rail-mounted handler for a rail yard?
A stationary handler suits a fixed loading point where wagons are moved into position. A rail-mounted handler suits longer stretches of track where the machine needs to travel along the wagons. Your track layout, available space and throughput decide.
What information is needed for a rail yard project?
Wagon type and dimensions, track layout and spacing, the space available beside the track, material, throughput, foundations and power supply.
