HRC Railcutter

The Hydraram HRC railcutter has been designed to cut locomotive tracks for recycling. The Cutter is more than powerful and we have two different models available. HRC-26R is the most common cutter for our customer’s needs. Some heavy duty rails that are 70kg/m and above require the HRC-42R. Both models can achieve 15-20 cuts per minute depending slightly on the operator and site layout. HRC-26R can be used by +20tn machine. HRC-42R will require +30tn excavator. 

The high torque rotator protects the machine while enabling the operator to pick material straight from a pile and organize their own work environment. 

The effectiveness is a combination of power and design of the cutterhead. Rail material does not require the sharpness of the blades as a shear does. The operation is based on the jaw cracking the head of the rail. (see video below) The large jaw axle is deesigned to lessen vibrations transferring throughout the body into the excavator.
