TN-DS250RT Excavator Hydraulic Rail Cutter for Railway Track Dismantling and Scrap Rail Recycling

Product Description

The TN-DS250RT Rail Cutter is a hydraulic special attachment mounted on excavators, specially developed for railway track dismantling, old track renovation and waste rail recycling. This excavator rail shear is widely applied in demolition and renewal projects of national railway branch lines, factory industrial sidings and urban rail transit, serving as core high-efficiency equipment for the standardized disposal of railway waste materials. Driven directly by the host machine's hydraulic system without any extra power unit, the TN-DS250RT rail cutter replaces traditional flame cutting and manual sawing, turning scattered rail dismantling work into a fast, clean and repeatable mechanized process.

What Is TN-DS250RT Rail Cutter?

TN-DS250RT Rail Cutter is a 2-ton class hydraulic rail shear designed to match medium excavators weighing 20 to 30 tons. The cutter draws stable power from the excavator's own hydraulic system, so it requires no independent power pack, no fuel supply and no welding gas on site. It features flexible transportation and wide adaptability, perfectly fitting railway maintenance window operations and scattered field construction.

In terms of cutting applicability, the machine is engineered for standard rails with a rail head width of 70 mm or below. It is not suitable for heavy-duty rails with a rail head width exceeding 70 mm, as such rails exceed the equipment's structural load and cutting capacity. The wear rate and service life of the cutter are directly determined by the hardness, abrasion condition and quenching process of the rails being processed. High-hardness and aged hardened rails will accelerate the consumption of cutting consumables and transmission parts, so operators shall adjust the working pace reasonably according to rail material to keep equipment performance stable.

Technical Data

Key Features

·Integrally Forged High-Strength Steel Housing

The whole housing is integrally forged from high-strength special steel, delivering outstanding structural rigidity, compression resistance and impact resistance. It effectively withstands splashing high-temperature iron scraps, mechanical vibration and gravel collisions during cutting, resisting deformation and cracking under harsh outdoor construction conditions.

·360° Full-Range Rotating Mechanism

The cutter allows flexible adjustment of cutting angles and working positions without frequent relocation of the excavator. It adapts to narrow working spaces including straight tracks, curved tracks and complex turnout sections, with no blind operation zones.

·8-Edge Replaceable Blade for Lower Consumable Cost

The cutting blade offers 8 usable working faces and can be quickly indexed or replaced on site. One blade set delivers multiple service cycles, directly lowering consumable cost per meter of rail cut and optimizing overall productivity.

·32 MPa High-Pressure Shearing Power

Working at 32 MPa hydraulic pressure with a 206 mm jaw opening, the shear cuts standard rails, fish plates and rail fittings in a single stroke, keeping a clean cutting section with no flame, no sparks scattering over long distance and no secondary trimming.

·Direct Excavator Drive, Zero Extra Power Unit

Powered entirely by the 20-30 ton host excavator, the attachment eliminates generator sets, oxygen-acetylene bottles and dedicated cutting crews. One operator and one excavator complete the whole dismantling cycle, which is ideal for short railway maintenance windows.

·Compact Body & Low Maintenance Cost

Simple structure with few vulnerable parts, easy pin-on installation and routine greasing only. The equipment replaces traditional manual cutting tools and drastically improves the mechanization and standardization efficiency of railway dismantling and waste treatment.

Application Scenarios

·Railway branch line demolition and old track dismantling projects

·Factory industrial siding and port railway line renovation

·Urban rail transit, subway and light rail track renewal works

·Scrap rail cutting, sizing and recycling at metal recovery yards

·Rail fixed-length cutting during railway emergency repair and short construction windows

·Turnout, switch and curved track section dismantling operations

·Track material sorting and loading in railway depots and material yards

FAQ

Q1: Which excavator size matches the TN-DS250RT rail cutter? A: The standard TN-DS250RT is designed for medium hydraulic excavators from 20 to 30 tons. We produce the mounting bracket and pins strictly according to your excavator brand and model, so please provide the machine model when ordering.

Q2: What kind of rails can this rail cutter handle? A: It is engineered for standard rails with a rail head width of 70 mm or below. Heavy-duty rails with a rail head width over 70 mm are beyond the structural load and cutting capacity of this model, and we recommend a larger customized shear for such applications.

Q3: How long does the blade last and can it be replaced on site? A: The blade provides 8 usable cutting faces and can be indexed or replaced directly on site with common tools. Actual service life depends on rail hardness, abrasion condition and quenching process; high-hardness aged rails will consume blades faster.

Q4: Does it need an extra hydraulic power pack? A: No. The cutter works directly on the excavator's hydraulic system. We only need your machine's flow and pressure parameters to match the hydraulic interface and rotation line.

Q5: What is the warranty and delivery time? A: We provide a standard 12-month warranty for the main structural parts, with long-term supply of blades, pins, bushings and seal kits. Standard units are delivered within 7-15 working days; customized brackets or bulk orders take 20-25 working days according to the production schedule.
