Rail Tongs, Track Jacks

Anti-Slip Rail Tongs are used on cranes for rail handling projects. They will lift any 39 foot tee rail section up to and including 155 lb. rail by either the head or base. No adjustments are necessary to handle various sizes of rail. Tongs are designed for lifting, not dragging. The anti-slip feature of the tongs is due to the sliding toggle action of the links when a rail is lifted. In this way, the angularity of the toggle links is never less than 90 degrees with respect to each other.

Track Jacks are used for a variety of track maintenance jobs such as surfacing, tamping and lining track. Both model 117-AD and 517-AD are 15-ton single acting trip lowering ratchet jacks with foot lift and thumb guard. They are made of strong aluminum allow which provides easy portability. The jacks are designed to be used in conjunction with a lining bar (not included) which fits into the square socket hole at the back side of the jack.

Caution:

Track Jacks are intended for use only in railway track maintenance and are trip lowering. Trip lowering jacks quickly drop the load and cannot be safely lowered incrementally. They should not be used for general purpose lifting.
