Hi-Rail Section Trucks for Sale

Purpose-Built For Rail Maintenance Crews

When rail infrastructure requires fast, highly-capable support on or off track, the Hi-Rail Section Truck steps in. These specialty trucks are equipped with hi-rail gear—wheeled travel capability along railroad tracks—combined with rugged truck chassis, crane systems, tool circuits, and specialized storage. They serve as mobile workshops for rail section crews handling track repair, tie replacement, material staging, and equipment deployment.

What We Offer

At Custom Truck One Source, our inventory of new and used Hi‐Rail Section Trucks is built for immediate deployment and long-term reliability. Key offerings include:

  • Trucks with full hi-rail conversion packages: front and rear railgear, rail sweeps, manual or hydraulic lock pins, and approved track access systems.

  • Integrated crane systems (knuckle‐boom or telescopic) with articulating booms, outriggers, remote controls—designed for heavy lifting near tracks and tight right‐of‐ways.

  • Custom section truck bodies with compartments for long bar storage, gas cylinder racks, tool circuits (5/10 GPM), overhead material racks and tool reels.

  • Chassis options sized for your application—from medium duty crews to heavy tandem-axle rigs managing large sections.

Key Features to Evaluate

When specifying a section truck for your rail fleet, consider these essential attributes:

  • Railgear & Track Access: Check that the hi-rail kit is certified, with appropriate brakes, sweeps, and insulation if required for your work zone.

  • Crane / Lifting Gear: Select based on reach, lift capacity, rotation (360°+), remote control capability and stability on track or road surfaces.

  • Body Configuration & Storage: Adequate compartment space, long bar racks, material overhead racks and safe access for operators make a big difference in crew efficiency.

  • Tool Circuits & Utility Integration: Dual circuits (e.g., 5/10 GPM), hose reels, tool quick-disconnects and power inverters enable rapid deployment of hydraulic rail tools.

  • Versatility & Mobility: The ideal section truck can transit roads, enter tracks, stage materials, service trackside equipment and support emergency response.
