What
is your rail time worth?

Rcrane and BTI BRIDGE GIRDERS are
collaboration of sophisticated design, engineering, and safety; with innovative
emphasis on safety and an absolute minimum of rail traffic interruptions.
No longer will railroads have to sacrifice operational effectiveness in
order to replace an enormous inventory of decaying bridges.
By all measures, Rcrane and BTI BRIDGE
GIRDERS will have a substantial positive impact on all of your operation and
maintenance goals. The patented
capabilities of Rcrane make it possible to substantially reduce
down time due to maintenance operation while increasing safety.
The ability to erect long bridge spans, and transport all bridge
materials, will dramatically reduce the interruptions to rail traffic.
Longer spanning capability and reduced track time windows
for maintenance will translate into increases in average train speeds, on-time
performance, market share, pricing, and most importantly increases in safety.
The increases in safety are two-fold; fewer trips to transport material
means fewer opportunities for accidents, and the inherent nature of the support
system for Rcrane is substantially safer, and more fool proof
than current cranes.
Key Benefits

- SAFETY
- SPEED
- More TIME to Run Trains
- Replace two of your standard spans in the same time you presently replace
one span.
-
Replace spans up to 56’ long. 13’ wide, weighing up
to 80 tons with one machine
-
Travels at full speed at a closed
width of 10'
for all replacement procedures
-
Replace spans up to 54’ long without removing the
track
-
Bring all new superstructure components out to the site
in one trip for that days activities
-
Bring back all old components removed during that same
day
-
Never drive temporary girder support piles again
-
Never make special trips to deliver new materials or
remove old materials
-
SIMPLIFY all change out planning
-
Replace damaged spans more quickly and with greater
ease
-
Radio remote control both overhead cranes and truss
expansion
-
Transport at unrestricted speeds
-
Longer spans mean fewer girders to transport and
erect, as well as fewer piers to transport and
construct.
