Wheeled Excavator

Rail Guidance System

Harrybilt Engineering have been installing Rail Guidance Systems to Wheeled Excavators since 2001 and have experience on a wide range of machines such as Hitachi, Hyundai, Cat and more.

The Rail Guidance System has retractable rail wheel assemblies that are installed on the excavator, positioning the vehicle on the rail while allowing the tires to continue to provide traction and braking. The blade has a mechanical twist mechanism to meet Australian Standard.

Harrybilt Engineering offer a turnkey solution for all Wheeled Excavators, this includes the supply of the excavator, the installation of the Rail Guidance System and Tiltrotator and supporting registration for required networks around Australia so the machine is Rail Ready when it leaves the workshop. The team can also handle the purchase and installation of a Tiltrotator along with Harrybilt Engineering’s own wide range of Rail Maintenance Attachments.
