Precise, Controlled Hydraulic Lifting & Holding by Enerpac

The TL248 is a cutting-edge, portable, and self-powered system designed for seamless transport to remote locations. This patented hydraulic lifting device is expertly crafted to elevate track components from below, securely supporting turnouts, diamonds, switches, retarders, and bridge ends. This innovative design enhances efficiency and precision, surpassing traditional methods.

Revolutionizes complex track lifts
The TL248 simplifies complex track lift projects. This innovative system efficiently lifts turnouts, diamond crossings, switches, retarders, and bridge ends, enhancing productivity, precision, and safety in tight spaces. Developed from extensive rail industry feedback, it meets rigorous standards for operations, safety, and support materials.

Cuts time, shortens curfews, lowers costs
Complex track lifts can be costly, time-consuming, and labor-intensive. Long curfews are often required, preventing on-track equipment from passing through the work area during lifts. The TL248 addresses these challenges by significantly reducing dig-out and project times, using less labor than traditional methods.

With the TL248, your track maintenance crew can lift up to 4 diamond crossings or 6 switches daily, boosting productivity. Feedback from the rail industry indicates that you can expect a return on your investment after just 10 to 20 lifts.

Accessible and easy to transport - goes where cranes cannot
This portable self-powered system lifts tracks from below, eliminating crane truck and side boom issues, particularly near overhead wires, under bridges, and in tunnels. The entire unit conveniently fits into a pickup truck bed and can be securely lifted using fork pockets and dual lift hooks.

Powerful hydraulic technology delivers precision control
The TL248 is a unique, patent-pending system that lifts, holds, and lowers loads with exceptional precision and control, utilizing four framed 62-ton (550 kN) hydraulic cylinders that achieve 1/8 inch (3.2 mm) accuracy.

This design offers significant advantages over traditional methods: it eliminates overhead clearance issues and allows maintenance-of-way equipment to pass over the track (with proper safety protocols and the track returned to the ballast). As a result, curfew times are significantly shortened, enhancing productivity and minimizing disruptions.

Discover the future of track maintenance
Effortlessly manage multiple lift points from a central location using color-coded valves that correspond to hydraulic lines. Redundant systems, such as manual needle valves and pilot-operated check valves, enhance safety and prevent cylinder drift. Additionally, the integrated LED lighting and safety yellow paint finish ensure maximum visibility in low-light conditions, allowing for safe operation.

Intuitive operator controls - highly visible and safe
The Enerpac TL248 System revolutionizes complex track lifts, providing unmatched efficiency, safety, and precision. Say goodbye to labor-intensive methods and enjoy reduced costs, quicker project completion, and improved crew safety.
