Rail Tug | Welding and Cutting Tractor
The Rail Tug is a basic tractor designed for the mechanization of welding and thermal cutting processes. The tractor can move along ring, hi-flex, semi-flexible, or rigid tracks on flat, curved, and round surfaces. The tracks can be fixed to both ferromagnetic and non-ferromagnetic materials thanks to various magnetic or vacuum units. Featuring a rack and pinion drive system with electronic speed control, Rail Tug creates weld bead geometry that is exact to your specifications, reducing costly over-welding and decreasing filler metal usage.
The Rail Tug economically meets a broad array of welding and cutting applications on flat or curved plates, tubes, and pipes.
- Compact, lightweight design
- The closed-loop speed control system stabilizes travel speed, enabling uniform heat input to produce consistently high-quality welds and cuts
- Digital LED display for pre-setting travel speed
- Convenient power supply 115–230 V, 50–60 Hz
- Suitable for a variety of circumferential and irregular surface applications down to a minimum radius of 100 mm (4″)
- Ring tracks on diameters from 200 mm (8″) OD up to 3 m (10 ft) OD
- Hi-Flex tracks on diameters from 1500 mm (59″) OD upwards
- Semi-flexible tracks can be bent to a minimum radius of 5 m (16 ft)
