A heavy-duty rail handling grab designed for use with excavators and lorry mounted cranes, the RG17 Rail Grab is ideal for rail delivery, installation and maintenance operations.

The unique design of the jaws allows rails to be stacked foot-to-foot to maximise load capacity on trucks and rail wagons.

A parachute valve prevents inadvertent dropping of the load while the heavy duty construction includes a six-tonne capacity rotator and an all-steel heavy section frame.

A pilot-operated check valve on the cylinder protects against leakage and locks the jaws in the event of a burst hose.

Adapter heads to suit all types of machine are available.
