Geismar Modern Track Machinery Inc.: Model Geismar 360 Snow Removal Equipment

Geismar Modern Track Machinery Inc.


The Geismar 360 is a multi-purpose, all-hydraulic, hi-rail crane powered by a turbo-charged Caterpillar water-cooled diesel engine. The Geismar 360 is designed specifically for railway needs. This crane operates through 360 degrees of rotation, is on- or off-trackable by its own means, and features a short tail swing, four-wheel drive, and crab-steering. The Geismar 360 provides the tractive effort to move the Model SS snow broom. In one pass, the snow broom will clear a switch, including between switch points. The snow broom is independently powered and has a 30 degree repositioning capability. This snow broom, along with a 1-1/2 yard snow bucket, can assist with snow removal in hard-to-get-at places, the company says.
