Mitchell Equipment - Track and Rail Safety and Maintenance Equipment

Mitchell Equipment is a railway equipment company that manufacturers rail gear for many types of light rail vehicles known within the industry as rail gear, hy-rail, or hi-rail. These vehicles can be considered railroad repair equipment because each vehicle functions as a maintenance rail vehicle that services railroad maintenance equipment, delivers materials, and carries the tools to repair railroad track.

Mitchell Equipment has been designing and manufacturing hy-rail gear systems for the railroad and construction equipment industry since 1978. The company's 25 years' experience in providing railroad equipment and supplies for the railroad industry ensures that all Mitchell's products are of the highest quality.

Mitchell rail gear systems are railroad track mobiles that are used for new railroad track construction and railroad track maintenance. Our attachment systems are designed to adapt to a wide variety of vehicles.

RETRACTABLE HY-RAIL GEAR SYSTEMS

We offer a complete line of retractable hy-rail gear systems that can propel vehicles on railroad track. Mitchell offers a large selection of speciality rail gear attachments that can be used in conjunction with hy-rail gear. By matching a specific vehicle with hy-rail gear and a series of attachments, a Mitchell rail gear system can be created. Mitchell rail gear systems work every day moving railcars, replacing railroad rail and handling materials on specially configured vehicles.

RAILCAR MOVERS AND TRACK MAINTENANCE MACHINES

In additional to rail gear attachment systems, Mitchell offers many complete machines such as railcar movers and track maintenance machines. Mitchell offers engineering and application assistance, factory installation, training, and customer support through a worldwide network of dealers.

There is no rail gear standard truck in the industry with all the different choices of trucks that can be equipped. Mitchell offers hy-rail on new and used trucks as well as offering used hy-rail trucks and railroad equipment for sale. We provide systems that are used in conjunction with construction equipment attachments. Typically, hy-rail gear can be found on railroad motorcars otherwise known as sport utility vehicles.

DUAL-PURPOSE LOADER RAILCAR MOVER

For construction equipment, we install the larger crane rail wheels along with other construction equipment attachments, such as Unimog attachments, to create a dual-purpose Mitchell loader railcar mover. The Mitchell loader railcar mover directly competes with companies like Trackmobile. The difference between the loader railcar mover and other railcar mover manufacturers is that we offer dual-purpose railcar movers.

RAILROAD ATTACHMENT SYSTEMS FOR VEHICLES

Along with the most durable railroad equipment on the market, Mitchell also offers customers a wide range of railroad attachment systems for vehicles, creating better vehicle utilization to help meet the specific needs of each customer. Mitchell's hy-rail equipped vehicles are capable of laying rail, moving railcars, changing railroad ties, tamping ballasts, cleaning tracks, handling materials and maintaining railways worldwide.
