New Hi-Rail Section Trucks

Rail section trucks function as mobile support units for maintenance crews working on active rail lines and remote jobsites. Custom Truck One Source offers new rail section trucks with hi-rail capabilities, crane systems, hydraulic tool circuits and integrated storage solutions.

Section trucks support rail replacement, switch maintenance and daily railroad maintenance operations across North America.

Built for Railroad Maintenance Crews

FRA-compliant rail section trucks enable crews to transport rail tools, replacement materials and equipment to active jobsites. These railroad maintenance trucks allow travel on both roads and rail lines, reducing the need for additional equipment transfers:

• Dual-mode railgear systems: Manual and hydraulic railgear options support efficient transitions between road and rail travel.
• Rail sweeps and track access features: These components help protect equipment and maintain clearances during track travel.
• Rapid deployment design: Crews can access tracks, complete work and return to road travel with minimal setup time.
• Insulated railgear options: These options support crews working near active signals and electrical systems.

Railroad section trucks support tie replacement, switch maintenance, material transport and general railroad maintenance operations across active rail networks.

Integrated Crane and Storage Systems

Crane systems provide the reach and lifting capacity crews need for material handling in tight track environments. Integrated body configurations provide organized storage for the tools, materials and rail equipment crews use daily:

• Knuckle boom or telescopic cranes: We offer crane systems with 360-degree rotation and multiple lifting capacities.
• Remote controls: Operators can position materials while maintaining clear visibility outside the cab.
• Outrigger stabilization systems: These systems boost stability on ballast, crossings and uneven terrain.
• Hydraulic tool circuits: Twin circuits can power multiple rail tools simultaneously.
• H-frame material racks: These racks are designed to carry rail sections and other long materials above the truck body.
• Rail racks: Available configurations can transport multiple 39-foot rail sections.
• Tool compartments: These compartments provide storage for gas cylinders, hand tools and fasteners.
• Hydraulic rewind reels: These reels efficiently manage hoses and hydraulic lines during tool operation.

Trucks can be configured to support different crew sizes, material handling needs and project requirements.

Multiple Chassis Options

Different chassis configurations support varying payload capacities, crew sizes and railroad maintenance tool requirements. Custom Truck One Source offers hi-rail section trucks built on proven commercial chassis platforms:

• Single axle configurations: Ford F-550 and F-750 chassis support lighter-duty section work and smaller crews.
• Tandem axle configurations: Freightliner and International chassis support larger material loads and tool packages.
• Cab configurations: Crew cabs transport work teams, while regular cabs maximize available body space.
• Engine options: Power ratings from 300 horsepower, 405 horsepower and more are available for different terrain and load requirements.
• GVWR options: We offer a variety of sizes meeting unique project specifications, from light 19,000-lb vehicles to 58,000-lb vehicles.
