Rail dollies are specialized devices designed for safely transporting heavy loads along railway tracks. They are used in rail maintenance, construction, and industrial sectors to move equipment, machinery, or railcars. Rail dollies are typically constructed with high-strength materials to support the heavy loads encountered in rail environments.
Key features of rail dollies include:
- Heavy Load Capacity: Designed to handle extremely heavy loads, often in the range of several tons.
- Wheels and Tracks: Equipped with robust wheels that are aligned with the rail tracks for smooth and guided movement.
- Braking System: Many rail dollies come with braking mechanisms to prevent uncontrolled movement along the tracks.
- Swiveling Capability: Some models are designed with swiveling wheels or a rotating platform to facilitate maneuvering in tight spaces.
- Durability: Built to withstand the harsh conditions of rail environments, including exposure to the elements and rough terrain.
