Revolutionizing the Method of Removing and Replacing Panels

With this technology, rail track maintenance and construction projects are completed in less time and with reduced operational costs.

The PL+ machines eliminate manual handling and improve the accuracy as well as productivity of installations.

PL+ are completely remote controlled, creating an instant exclusion zone while also eliminating safe handling concerns.

The speed of removal is critical during limited possession timelines to enable rework of the track foundation ahead of replacement. The PL+ system has been successfully and efficiently overcoming rail logistics challenges for more than 10 years.

A PL+ system of 4 machines can move panels up to 164 feet (50 meters) long. More machines can be added to this configuration to move even longer lengths of panels, and it can work with all types of panels.

Features & Benefits

27,500 lbs/12.5 tonnes lifting capability per PL+, multiple units increase lifting capability; for example three units would lift approximately 82,000 lbs/34.5 tonnes

Ideal for removing and installing panel on main line, repairs, and challenging new builds or crossings.

Fully certified to work across the rail network, including under live Overhead Line Equipment (OLE), Any Line Open working (ALO), and Catenary.

Can easily cross multiple tracks without damaging the rail.

A fully loaded PL+ System can turn in any direction while in motion.

Compact size and maneuverability enables easy transportation, rapid deployment, and demobilization.

Variable track width allows access and use in narrow environments like bridges, tunnels, and narrow right of way.

A PL+ System of two machines can be used to move panel lengths up to 90ft long. More machines can be added to move longer panels.
