MecalacDesignsNew 216MRail for Light Rail Work, More
1.
The upgraded 216MRail, like the original model, features a rail-dedicated boom specifically designed for the rail industry. It offers the lifting capacity of a much larger machine — up to 8.5 tons on rails over the front — but offers the stability and boom flexibility other machines lack. Its Mecalac articulated boom design provides greater compactness and range of motion by allowing it to extend almost entirely straight or fold back on itself, making it agile in confined spaces.
For some larger machines, working below catenaries or in tunnels can be awkward and inefficient due to limited boom angle adjustments. The operator must completely unfold the boom and work at maximum reach, losing force, compromising stability and taking longer to complete the task. Due to the extraordinary flexibility of the boom, the 216MRail easily handles heavy-duty tasks even when there is limited space to maneuver.
The 216MRail also improves safety with anti-drop safety check valves, load sensing and flow sharing. A double cab allows space for a second crew member when accessing the job on rails. The cab also has windows on all sides and a lowheight hood behind the cab, providing operators with 360degree direct visibility.
Mecalac presents the 216MRail in a user-friendly package. The 7-in. color display monitors are easy to read and configured to provide useful data in real-time. Driver-assistance functions, such as rail mode, are available with a simple switch.
Other optional features include:
• A pneumatic braking system for rail trailer and rail car brakes
• An automatic hook for towing
“Our 216MRail is game-changing for the rail industry,” Bigwood said. “It’s a compact machine that can accomplish everything necessary for heavy-duty projects, while maintaining a level of simplicity and ease of use.”
The 216MRail is the largest in Mecalac’s series of dedicated rail excavators, including the 106MRail, 136MRail and 156MRail. The manufacturer builds the MRail series to meet all railway needs from routine maintenance to constructing new tracks.
