Machine Description

The KTC 2000 Tie Crane has a range of movement that sets it apart from other cranes. It is capable of handling 1200 lbs. at 24 ft. from the track centerline. The upper deck is capable of 360° rotation, as is the tie grapple. The boom swing moves independently of the deck and can swing 60°- 120° each side of center. This allows the machine to work efficiently in tight clearances where deck rotation is inhibited.

John Deere 4045, 99 hp, Tier III engine, with 24V electrical system mounted inside a fiberglass enclosure with hinged doors. 3” diameter alloy steel axles. Both axles are driven with hydraulic motors. Service brakes are air applied, spring released. Parking brakes are spring applied, air released on all wheels. Pressure compensated pump (direct coupled to 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.
