Rail construction and rail infrastructure maintenance require machinery that can handle a wide range of tasks, challenging working conditions, and tight schedules — safely and efficiently. Equipped with the Lännen Rail Systems rail work system, the Lännen 8800M is a powerful multipurpose machine designed for the railway environment.
Lännen rail machines can be fitted with personnel and material lifts to meet the needs of electrified rail construction and maintenance. The Lännen rail-wheel excavator is the most versatile choice for year-round construction and maintenance of rail infrastructure as well as station and service areas. With its low ground pressure, the machine does not damage track embankments, surrounding terrain, or road networks.
By completing the work in one go with a single multipurpose Lännen rail machine, environmental impact is reduced — including exhaust emissions, noise levels, and traffic and visual disruption.
The articulated Lännen rail machine with an oscillating frame is agile and highly capable off-road. Large rubber tyres, axle locks, and hydrostatic transmission ensure smooth, precisely controlled movement even in confined and demanding conditions.
Lännen can be driven quickly and easily directly onto the tracks and off again anywhere, without the need for a level crossing or similar access point. The Lännen rail machine is also well suited for off-track construction work or electrification projects even before the track itself has been built.
A multipurpose Lännen rail machine can operate a wide range of attachments — including heavy-duty, high-power tools — with precision and safety, such as:
Sleeper replacement and sleeper distribution equipment
Compactors and tamping tools
Brush cutters and flail mowers
Sweepers
Snow blowers
Cable handling and winding equipment
The Lännen rail machine replaces separate auxiliary rail work machines such as wheeled excavators, rail trucks, personnel and material lifts, work trains, and wire pulling vehicles. A rail trailer can also be connected to transport tools, fuel and lubricants, or attachment containers.
Lännen Rail Systems is equipped with an intelligent control system for rail wheel height adjustment, and features either direct rail wheel drive (Class 9A) or rubber tyre drive on the rail head (Class 9C).
Lännen rail machines equipped with the RCI/RCL safety system comply with the strict safety standards and rail inspection requirements of EN 15746-1/2 for railway environments.
The Lännen Line Systems line work system makes the Lännen rail machine an ideal choice for rail electrification construction and maintenance. The long-reach Lännen L1900 personnel lift enables working heights of up to 19 metres.
A material lift mounted on the front loader — also available with personnel lift readiness — further enhances Lännen’s year-round versatility in rail infrastructure maintenance and construction.
