RAIL BENDERSHydraulic Rail Benders for light rails are the double hook type with a 25 ton hydraulic ram-pump or 50 ton ram with remote pump. They provide direct 90 degree pressure against the rail head between the hooks. The underlipped hooks of the frame have convex bearing surfaces to prevent crawling off the rail. The hydraulic benders are much easier to use than the manual screw type.Do not use operating bar other than furnished. Screw Type Rail Benders for light rails are designed with double-hook style cast steel frame and provide direct 90 degree bearing to the rail head. The operator uses a steel bar to turn the screw.Jack-Type Rail Benders are available in 25 ton, 35 ton, and 50 ton series. Benders consist of a steel frame, (one end of which ˜ts over the ball of the rail, the other end is seated on the top of the jack), a safety cable, a jack, and a lever bar. They make stock and guard rail bends conveniently. A 50 ton bender will reliably generate 100,000 pounds of bending force and is especially well-suited to bending newer high-Brinell rail. A safety cable prohibits jack from slipping out of place. Rugged, but lighter weight than similar benders of same capacity. Built-in scale assures accurate duplication of bends.
