Benefits of the Rail Lorry PL01 and PL01.5

01

Specifically designed

Pandrol’s Rail Lorry has been specifically designed for use on aluminothermic welding sites.

02

Automatic

An automatic braking system that activates when the user stops pushing prevents the lorry going off course.

03

Enhanced safety

Safety is further enhanced by the Rail Lorry’s non-slip aluminium surface (to prevent slipping) and insulated rollers (to reduce the risk of electrical incidents).

04

Easy transportation

The modular design means the equipment can be set up and put away without tools, for ease of transportation.

05

Maximum usability

Two models are available for maximum usability. The PL01 Rail Lorry is lightweight and portable, ideal for loads of 1 ton and less. The PL01.5 model is much heavier and has a strong steel frame, making it ideal for loads up to 1.5 tons.
