Are you struggling with slow rerailing operations and heavy equipment that strains your maintenance crew?

When a freight car or locomotive derails, every minute of downtime costs revenue. Traditional steel rerailers can weigh over 180 lbs (82 kg) per unit, requiring multiple crew members to maneuver into position. Setup delays compound the problem — especially in remote track sections where heavy lifting equipment is not available. The result: extended service disruption, higher labor costs, and increased safety risks for your track maintenance team.

Our straddle rerailer is engineered to solve these exact pain points.

What are the key specifications of this straddle rerailer for railway maintenance?

Why does aluminum alloy matter for your straddle rerailer?

Aluminum alloy construction makes this rail track rerailing device approximately 30% lighter than traditional steel models. This translates to:

• Faster deployment — one or two crew members can position the straddle rerailer without mechanical assistance

• Reduced operator fatigue during emergency rerailing operations

• Easier storage and transport — especially critical for mobile maintenance teams

Which straddle rerailer model is right for your track maintenance needs?

The straddle rerailer must be used in pairs — one left-hand and one right-hand unit. All wheels on a derailed truck can be rerailed with a single placement of the rerailers.

How does the A-frame design improve rerailing stability and safety?

• Symmetrical base ensures stability during heavy lifting and precise rerailing

• A-frame structure reduces derailment risk during lifting operations by 40% compared to flat designs

• Special guide groove permits re-tracking wheels from either or both sides simultaneously

• Steel cam mechanism tightens and locks against the rail head as the car wheel tries to push the rerailer

• Reinforced ergonomic grips improve operator safety and control during manual use

• Safety chain and latch hook provide added security during operation

The result: faster, safer rerailing with minimal crew exposure to risk.

What quality standards does this rail track rerailing device comply with?

• ISO certification — international quality management standard

• CE marking — conforms to European safety, health, and environmental requirements

• CRCC certification — China Railway Product Certification Center approval

• Corrosion-resistant epoxy-polyester hybrid coating — delivers 2x longer corrosion resistance in salt-spray tests compared to industry standards

Customization options available:

• Adjustable base width to fit various track gauges

• Custom coatings for extreme environments (e.g., saltwater resistance for coastal railways)

• Customized colors per your fleet requirements
