Access & Material Handling Equipment for Rail Projects
Rail Boom Lifts: Equipment That Meets Industry Standards
Designed and built with an extensive understanding of the electric rail maintenance sector and other passenger transport maintenance work requirements, our range of rail boom lifts offers:
- Reliable performance in rail infrastructure maintenance, ensuring safe access to overhead wiring and signals.
- High-reach capabilities to work efficiently in elevated rail corridors.
- Robust safety features, keeping operators protected during demanding tasks.
Truck-Mounted Lifts: Safe and Reliable High-Reach Equipment
For industries such as rail requiring mobility and efficiency in high-access applications, truck-mounted lifts provide a superior solution. These lifts are widely used in rail and maintenance projects due to their:
- Rapid deployment capabilities, minimising downtime and optimising operational efficiency.
- Extended reach and stability, ideal for work on overhead wiring, streetlights, and signage.
- Advanced safety features, including stabilisers and remote controls for precise manoeuvring.
- Accessing overhead electrification systems, ensuring quick and safe inspections and repairs.
- Facilitating bridge and tunnel maintenance, reducing the need for scaffolding and lengthy setup times.
- Performing trackside work with minimal interference, keeping operations smooth and efficient.
Spider Lifts: Versatile Lifts for Complex Environments
Modern infrastructure and industrial environments such as railways demand access solutions that are both adaptable and capable of handling challenging terrain. Monitor’s spider lifts meet these needs with industry-leading technology, ensuring operators can reach difficult areas safely and efficiently.
Rail maintenance and construction require specialised access equipment that can operate in confined spaces and on uneven surfaces. Monitor’s spider lifts excel in this sector by offering:
- Compact design for easy transport and manoeuvrability in rail yards and depots.
- Lightweight construction to minimise ground pressure, making them suitable for delicate surfaces.
- Superior reach and articulation, allowing operators to access overhead infrastructure like catenary lines, signal gantries, and bridge structures.
- Electric and gas powered options, support operations that enhance productivity and reduce emissions.
Vacuum Excavators - Safe Railway Excavation
In the rail sector, safe and precise excavation is essential when working near live infrastructure and underground services. Vacuum excavation machines offer a non-destructive digging solution ideal for tasks such as cable identification, service locating, and trenching along rail corridors and station precincts. Using high-pressure air or water, these machines loosen soil without the risk of damaging critical assets, while debris is safely extracted into onboard tanks.
Designed for compliance, performance, and ease of use, our vac-ex units help rail contractors and infrastructure teams dig efficiently, reduce strike risk, and maintain strict safety standards.
- Non-destructive digging in confined areas.
- Maintenance projects along rail lines and underground rail lines.
- Efficient material removal for site preparation and excavation tasks.
Compact Cranes for Rail: Precise Lifting in Confined Rail Environments
In the rail industry, safe and efficient lifting is critical—especially in live rail environments, station precincts, and corridor works where space is limited and access is restricted. Monitor’s range of compact spider and crawler cranes offers a powerful lifting solution purpose-built for rail infrastructure tasks.
With narrow footprints, high lifting capacities, and precision remote-control operation, these cranes are ideal for bridge maintenance, signal upgrades, platform work, and structural installations along rail corridors. Their compact size allows them to operate between tracks, on platforms, or within overhead-clearance limits where larger cranes cannot go.
Whether you’re working within a station, beside active rail lines, or on challenging terrain, our compact cranes deliver the strength, reach, and safety features required to keep rail projects moving.
