Railway Crane is a specialized lifting machine designed for maintenance, construction, and emergency recovery operations on railway infrastructure. It is widely used for track installation, rail replacement, bridge construction, derailment recovery, and handling of heavy railway components such as rails, sleepers, switch systems, and rolling stock.
Railway cranes are engineered to operate directly on rail tracks, typically featuring rail-mounted or road–rail configurations that allow movement both on standard roads and railway lines. Equipped with a telescopic or lattice boom, these cranes provide high lifting capacity, precise load control, and extended outreach within confined rail corridors.
The cranes are powered by diesel or hybrid drive systems and utilize advanced hydraulic technology to ensure smooth and accurate lifting, slewing, and hoisting operations. Integrated outriggers or rail stabilizing systems enhance stability during lifting, while load monitoring and overload protection systems ensure safe operation in accordance with strict railway safety requirements.
Modern railway cranes are fitted with operator cabins designed for excellent visibility, ergonomic controls, and comprehensive safety systems such as load moment indicators (LMI), anti-two block protection, emergency stop functions, and real-time diagnostics. Optional features including remote control operation, auxiliary winches, and specialized rail handling attachments further increase operational efficiency.
Manufactured in compliance with international railway and crane standards such as EN 13000, CE, and relevant railway authority regulations, railway cranes provide a reliable and efficient solution for maintaining and restoring railway infrastructure with minimal disruption to rail traffic.
Railway Hydraulic Cranes are used for construction work and maintenance of the railway and tube stations, especially when the truck is difficult to access.
They have designed and manufactured for be installed on a tractor or railway locomotive.
We also have a variety of models of Heavy Duty Railway Cranes used in rescue work or wagon derailment.
