Near Butler MO - Loram Raptor Train

Built for safety and performance, the Raptor rail handling system also reduces operating and manpower costs -
The result: More rail picked up in less time for less money -
The Loram long rail pick-up and delivery system consists of:

Twin independent gantry cranes with telescoping booms 3-car work unit-
with rail joining workstations and integrated power cars High capacity rail transport trains -
After grasping rail on the ground, the high mounted gantry rails allow the gantries to pull it -
on to the work unit and down the length of the transport train -

Rail cutting and joining workstations centralize these tasks to improve safety and efficiency -
And the integrated, remote-equipped power cars improve operational coordination -
and eliminate the work train requirement.
