Introducing the Enerpac TL248 Track Lift System, a groundbreaking hydraulic solution that transforms complex rail track maintenance jobs into a more productive, precise, and safer operation. Compared to traditional methods, this highly portable, self-powered system reduces the need for expensive heavy equipment and extensive labor. It saves time and money, allowing work to be completed with shorter and less disruptive curfews.

The TL248 makes complex track lift projects easier. This groundbreaking system transforms lifts of turnouts, diamond crossings, switches, retarders, and bridge ends, using elements engineered to ramp up productivity, precision, and safety. Even in limited access areas. Its development stems from in-depth rail industry feedback, with approval granted in the areas of operations, safety, and support materials.

Complex track lifts are high-cost, time-consuming, and labor-intensive operations. Long and disruptive curfews are often needed, with on-track equipment unable to pass through the work area while the lift is in process. The TL248 meets these challenges head-on by dramatically compressing dig-out and project times, using less labor than traditional methods.

See your track maintenance crew's productivity reach new heights through the ability to lift up to 4 diamond crossings or 6 switches per day. Rail industry feedback has shown you can expect a return on your investment after just 10 - 20 lifts.

This highly portable self-powered system lifts tracks from below, preventing crane truck and side boom problems, such as limitations caused by overhead wires, bridges, and tunnels. The complete unit fits easily into the bed of a pickup truck and can be lifted securely using fork pockets or dual lift hooks.

The TL248 is a unique patent pending system that lifts, holds, and lowers loads with supreme precision and control – thanks to its four framed 62 ton (550 kN) hydraulic cylinders working to 1/8 inch (3.2 mm) accuracy.

This provides significant advantages over other methods: In addition to avoiding overhead clearance issues, the system allows maintenance-of-way equipment to pass over the track. When the track is placed back down on the ballast. This significantly shortens curfew times, boosting productivity, and minimizing disruption.

With the TL248 you can master multiple lift points like a pro from a central point using color-coded valves matched to hydraulic lines. Redundant systems including manual needle valves and pilot operated check valves help ensure safe operation and prevent cylinder drift. In low lighting conditions you can work with maximum visibility, thanks to the integral LED lighting and the safety yellow paint finish.

Key Features

• Cylinder-mounted U-Rings and spacers mechanically hold the load, eliminating reliance on wood blocks or steel plates while providing consistent load support for every lift.
• Ergonomic fork for safe U-Ring placement reduces manual handling and improves jobsite safety during setup and adjustment.
• Interlocking pin design prevents ring misalignment during stacking, maintaining proper alignment during critical lift phases.
• Dedicated storage and transport case keeps components organised, protected and ready for use while reducing setup time.
• Hands-free handling reduces hands-under-load exposure during setup and adjustment.

The Enerpac TL248 System is your key to transforming complex track lifts, offering unparalleled efficiency, safety, and precision. Leave behind the labor-intensive methods of the past and benefit from reduced costs, faster project completion, and enhanced crew safety.
