KTC1200 TIE CRANE

Download KTC1200 Brochure

The KTC-1200 Tie Handling Crane is capable of handling 1200 lbs. (544 kg) at a radius of 24' (7.32m) from track center.  The unit is capable of 360-degree rotation.  The heavy duty all welded reinforced construction on the upper deck and mainframe withstands loading and provides long life to the equipment.  The minimal tail swing reduces the possibility of fouling the adjacent track.

Advantages

• Manufactured from steel tubing and heavy deck plates.  Additional steel is used to increase structural integrity, plus reduce required counterweight.

• Frame width is 101" (2565 mm) to allow more deck space for mounting engine, cab, tanks, etc.

• Dedicated pump and hydraulic oil cooler.

• Propel system is at the deck level of the lower frame with easy access to motor, chain, etc.  One motor and #100 chain drive for each axle.

• Propel system pressure is 3000 psi (204 atm) for additional power.

• Hydraulic swivel is rated at 6000 psi (408 atm).

• Root boom mount is 32" (812 mm), for better stability.

KBC 1100 BRIDGE CRANE

The KBC 1100 Bridge Crane handles 900 lbs. at a radius of 24 ft.  from center of rotation on level track.  Boom and grapple design provides the ability to replace bridge ties, caps, and stringers quickly, with minimal manpower.  Center locking rail dogs clamp the machine to the rails for working over the side.  The optional 4000 lb capacity winch easily handles caps and stringers within a radius of 10 ft from the track centerline.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

CAB:  Fully enclosed sound-dampened cab with hydraulic joystick controls for boom control, upper deck rotate and tie grapple control.  Equipped with defrost fan, travel lights, work lights, and horn.

ENGINE:  Cummins 4B3.9C, rated at 100 hp @ 2200 rpm.  Equipped with 65-amp alternator and 8.5 cfm air compressor.  Engine is equipped with an audio/visual alarm for high coolant temperature and low oil pressure.

PROPEL SYSTEM:  3” diameter alloy steel axles.  Each axle is chain driven by a dedicated hydraulic motor.

WHEELS & BRAKES:  16” diameter, hardened cast steel wheels.  Service brakes are air applied, spring released; and parking brakes are spring applied, air released on all wheels.

HYDRAULIC SYSTEM:  A pressure-compensated pump, directly coupled to the  engine, provides power for propel and all boom / grapple operations.  A gear pump, coupled to pressure-compensated pump, is provided for continuous cooling and polishing of the hydraulic oil.

UPPER DECK AND MAINFRAME:  Heavy duty all welded reinforced construction to withstand loading and provide long life.  Minimal tail swing to reduce the possibility of fouling the adjacent track (on 11’-6” track centers).

BOOM & GRAPPLE:  Heavy duty all welded reinforced construction to withstand loading and provide long life.  Root boom has wide mounting point to spread forces across upper deck.  Grapple rotates continuously through 360º and has auto-close feature. 

HYDRAULIC TANK:  Capacity – 58 gals. (220 L).  Reservoir is equipped with in tank filter, shut off ball valves on suction lines, magnetic trap, lockable filler cap, tank breather and combination fluid level and temperature gauge.

FUEL TANK: Capacity – 80 gals. (303 L)
