Mobile Railcar
Mover Types
There are basically two types
of mobile railcar movers available on the market today.
The first type developed in the
late forties utilizes steel driven railwheels for motive effort on rail track.
Off road movement is develoed by engaging rubber tires with drive sprocket extensions
on the rail wheels.
The second type developed in
the early seventies generates its motive effort on the rail through rubber tires.
Off road movement uses the same drive system and rubber tires.
Each type has unique characteristics
that can be considered advantageous under varying conditions.
