MIT 70 SLW LIGHTWEIGHT HYDRAULIC RAIL TENSoR oR RAIL PULLER, 70 ToNNE

The main use of hydraulic rail tensors/rail pullers takes place during welding
procedures. The rail tensor is used for pulling two lengths of rail together so the
welding process can be performed. The MIT 70SLW can be used in both “over-rail”
or “under-rail/obstruction-less” configuration. In the obstruction-less configuration
trains or locomotives can pass without contacting the tensor. In addition to single use
WELDING, GRINDING & BENDING
the tensors can be dual configured so that two parallel rail tensors (model no. MIT
70/2SLW) can be controlled with one hydraulic power pump (sold separately, refer
bottom of page for petrol unit).

over Rail Obstruction-less Dual Obstruction-less Configuration

our mIT 70SLW rail tensor is composed of two stirrups made from a special casting, eccentrics for anchoring on
the rail, 2 lightweight aluminium hydraulic cylinders, 2 tie rods and 2 hydraulic hoses (requiring a hydraulic power
pump to operate).

The hydraulic cylinders have a security valve that doesn’t allow the operator to exceed the standard pressures.
Its lightweight and compact body makes this rail tensor / puller unique in the market. It can be used on existing
rails as well as new construction lines.
