RRV Heavy Lift

Following the success of the mid-range RRV fleet, the industry now demanded a bigger stronger, more powerful machine capable of greater lifting capabilities. Readypower rose to the challenge and brought the heavy lift RRV to the market.

Ranging from 28 to 32 tonnes the heavier machine enabled enhanced lifting capabilities without losing the flexibility of the mid-range RRV predecessor.

The fleet consists of Doosan 260/270 as well as Giga 10/12 machines which cover all disciplines across the range. From heavy lifting on renewals to heavy duty maintenance with the option of working both ‘all lines open’ (ALO) and under ‘live overhead line equipment’ (OHLE) with the latest spaceguard system. We have a machine for every task.

Superbug 300

The Superbug 300 is a first of type innovative machine exclusively built for Readypower for the track renewals market. It has the ability to undertake every activity on the critical path of a track renewal faster than any other machine of its kind.

It is the only machine in the UK that is able to lay sleepers using a 14-sleeper hydraulic spacer which was also designed and built specifically for this machine. It works by picking up two packs of seven sleepers so the trains can be loaded conventionally, and the machine can revert to using a seven-sleeper spacer as a contingency.

It has a huge digging capacity due to the bespoke 1.8m3 bucket and can shift 3 tonnes of spoil with each pass. The Superbug 300 can dig at 3 times the speed of a standard machine fitted with a standard bucket.

The Superbug 300 runs on a very efficient Tier 4 AdBlue engine and will emit 86% less carbon and 85% less particulate matter than an old machine running on an older Tier 0 engine. This supports the Network Rail strategic objective of reducing carbon emissions on the network.

Doosan 260-270

The machine comes with two interchangeable dipper arms. The 5.5m dipper gives the machine ‘long reach’ ability with a total reach of around 11m. This not only allows you to place OLE structures high up in the air, but also gives you the reach to place materials across adjacent lines and into the CESS. This means that on a two-road track you can deliver materials to both sides from one road resulting in improved efficiency.

The second 1.8m dipper arm gives you the close in reach for heavy lifting and a bucket can be fitted for digging and profiling.

This machine can run MOVAX and BSP piling hammers with the 1.8m dipper arm fitted.
