Perfect Track Alignment with the CRP160 Rail Puller

Looking for a high-performance closure rail puller that can ensure optimal rail position while your team handles rail closure welding? Contrail Machinery provides you with the Closure Rail Puller, type CRP160, a high-performance hydraulic device designed for pre-tensioning the rails to be welded. Engineered for strength, the Rail Puller CR160 provides unmatched pulling power, essential for efficient track alignment and maintenance.

In order to perform closure welds, this machinery is able to pull the rails together with a force of up to 140 tons for pre-tensioning the Long Welded Rail in order to be fixed at the neutral temperature.

Unmatched Power and Precision in Rail Welding

The CRP 160 rail puller is a game-changer in rail welding operations, ensuring that every weld is performed with precision and durability. Its ability to exert high pulling forces while maintaining stability makes it indispensable for achieving perfectly aligned tracks.

A rail puller, such as the CRP 160, is an indispensable tool for ensuring precision and durability in rail welding projects. By applying consistent pulling force, it guarantees accurate alignment, reducing stress points that could compromise the rail’s structural integrity over time.

The CRP 160 rail puller is compatible with the CR100 flash-butt welding machine and it works by synchronising with the head during the welding process, helping it to pull the excess force required to perform the rail closure welding works.

Advantages of Closure Rail Puller, type CRP 160

  • Superior Performance: The puller is connected through heavy-duty quick-disconnect couplings, so it can be easily installed or disconnected.
  • Smart Integration: The puller interface on the welding machine HMI is automatically activated when the puller is connected.
  • Safety First: The CRP 160 rail puller is a reliable and safe choice for rail maintenance and construction projects. Its system is designed with multiple safety protocols, including automatic shut-off mechanisms and emergency stop functions, which significantly reduce the risk of accidents.
  • Enhanced Efficiency: This rail puller optimizes the rail welding process by minimizing downtime and ensuring precise alignment, which translates into long-lasting results and reduced maintenance costs.

Its ability to maintain consistent pulling force ensures uniform weld quality, reducing the need for rework and enhancing the longevity of welded joints.
