TL248, 248 Ton, 152 mm Stroke, Track Lift System

Revolutionizes complex track lifts
The TL248 makes complex track lift projects easier. This groundbreaking system transforms lifts of turnouts, diamond crossings, switches, retarders, and bridge ends, using elements engineered to ramp up productivity, precision, and safety - even in limited access areas. Its development stems from in-depth rail industry feedback, with approval granted in the areas of operations, safety, and support materials.

Cuts time, shortens curfews, lowers costs
Complex track lifts are high-cost, time-consuming, and labor-intensive operations. Long and disruptive curfews are often needed, with on-track equipment unable to pass through the work area while the lift is in process. The TL248 meets these challenges head-on by dramatically compressing dig-out and project times, using less labor than traditional methods.

See your track maintenance crew's productivity reach new heights through the ability to lift up to 4 diamond crossings or 6 switches per day. Rail industry feedback has shown you can expect a return on your investment after just 10 - 20 lifts.

Accessible and easy to transport - goes where cranes cannot
This highly portable self-powered system lifts tracks from below, preventing crane truck and side boom problems, especially when working near overhead wires, under bridges, and in tunnels. The complete unit fits easily into the bed of a pickup truck and can be lifted securely using fork pockets and dual lift hooks.

Powerful hydraulic technology delivers precision control
The TL248 is a unique patent pending system that lifts, holds, and lowers loads with supreme precision and control - thanks to its four framed 62-ton (550 kN) hydraulic cylinders working to 1/8 inch (3.2 mm) accuracy.

This provides significant advantages over other methods: In addition to avoiding overhead clearance issues, the system allows maintenance-of-way equipment to pass over the track (with proper safety protocols in place and the track placed back down on the ballast). This significantly shortens curfew times, boosting productivity, and minimizing disruption.

Intuitive operator controls - highly visible and safe
Master multiple lift points like a pro from a central point, using color-coded valves matched to hydraulic lines. Redundant systems including manual needle valves and pilot operated check valves help ensure safe operation and prevent cylinder drift. Work safely with maximum visibility in low lighting, thanks to the integral LED lighting and the safety yellow paint finish.
