Permanent way material and equipment handling vehicle

Phooltas Utility Vehicles (UTV) are bi-directional vehicles with rapid acceleration to a speed of 80km/h or more. They are capable of towing a trailing load of 250t. A mobile crane can be mounted and can move from the UTV to the wagons for loading / unloading of goods and material.

Other equipment like a fixed crane, jib and cradle, lifting platform, powered drum stands, lifting mast, etc. can also be provided as per customers' requirements.

Ballast hopper car

Ballast hopper cars of up to 20m³ and 80km/h travelling speed are used to carry ballast to the site and for controlled distribution of ballast on the track.

Hy-rail (rail-cum-road) vehicles

A Hy-rail attachment can be mounted on any road vehicle making it capable of running on track as well as on road. Models are available from 2mt to 30mt gross vehicle weights with friction drive through road tyres or hydrostatically driven rail wheels. Phooltas has manufactured and supplied nearly 100 of these vehicles to the Indian Railways, IRCON and other organisations.

Rail threaders

Phooltas rail treaders continuously place rails from 1,000mm to 4,200mm gauge at speeds up to 500m/h. Useful for rail renewal and track lifting and slewing work, they can be off-tracked at level crossings.

Motorised track-inspection trolleys

Motorised track-inspection trolleys are excellent vehicles for track inspection. Fitted with a captive petrol engine, the trolleys are available for all track gauges. Various body options, such as canopy, steel coach, steel cabin with loading area, etc. are available..
