Gradall TrackStar Series railway maintenance excavators deliver unmatched performance and efficiency. With Gradall’s telescoping, tilting boom, undercarriage options including rough-terrain and highway-speed chassis, and an array of MOW attachments, TrackStar machines handle everything from rail and tie repairs to cleaning up landslides, vegetation control and crossing repair. Even in tunnels and under bridges, the low-profile boom keeps working efficiently. TrackStar excavators are the industry’s go-to multitasking MOW solutions for Class 1, short line, commuter rail, and contractor work.

Rapid Drive highway-speed models can be driven to crossings at 60 mph or on the rail, both forward and backward, at 30 mph and tow a railcar with coupler and airbrakes. The upper cab switch allows the operator to select the standard remote drive for speeds up to 5 mph, or the new Rapid Drive system for faster travel when the boom is parallel with the tracks. With a coupler and airbrakes, Rapid Drive provides the ability to tow along a railcar carrying materials like replacement ties or riprap, to and from the jobsite with one machine. Gradall TrackStar gets more work done by the end of every day.
