The new Atlas model is designed to better accommodate rail application locations requiring greater tractive effort due to unfavorable conditions or applications requiring longer strings of railcars to be moved in onsite rail spotting and switching activity. Delivering 43,900 pounds of single coupled tractive effort, and 60,200 pounds when double coupled, the Atlas not only offers more capacity but also offers the industry-first operating environment for state-of-the-art operator comfort, intuitive and safe operation, with many options included as standard equipment. Among them, Trackmobile's exclusive MAX-TRAN automatic weight transfer management system and MAX-TRAC anti-wheel slip system that ensures optimal tractive effort and performance in difficult conditions.
On-site testing of the Atlas at several different customer locations with challenging environments has proven that the new design delivers as promised and more. “The Trackmobile Atlas is not only the highest capacity model we have produced to date, but as with all Trackmobile models, it provides the most consistent tractive effort in applications with adverse track conditions and in inclement weather in the industry,” stated Bob Evans, Engineering Manager. “The shorter wheel base and machine length are a real asset when it comes to the equipment being agile and easy to manoeuvre”, he added.The Atlas is loaded with enhanced features, such as:
• Upgraded traverse coupler control valve that smooths out compression in tight curves, reducing potential for coupler buckling• Enhanced hydraulic roadwheel lift, allowing wheels to extend 33% faster • Locking rear railwheel alignment window cover, maintains cab temperature and reduces noise • 12 step cab epoxy dipping and finish painting to penetrate and seal all crevices for optimal rust resistance • Premium HVAC system for unparalleled defrost, heating, and cooling effectiveness • Fully suspended cab design for enhanced operator comfort with reduced rail vibration • Forged steel wheels to offering longer wheel life • Transmission mounted hydraulic parking brake, using self-contained wet disc brakes • Tinted and tempered glass that meets ANSI 26.1 standard • Embedded LED headlights • Coat hooks• Locking glove compartment
