The Rail Lifter 20-3 is a self-propelled machine designed to assist in tie-plate replacement in high-speed tie-gang operations. A press of a button propels, clamps and lifts the rail to an adjustable height. The machine can be propelled in the work mode with clamps in the floating position, eliminating the need to reclamp after indexing to the next work point. Optional equipment includes a remote tie-plate pusher designed to allow the operator to propel the machine, lift rail and place tie plates from a working position.
