Utilizing a John Deere 544 size wheel loader rear section and a custom front chassis that has been modified to work on the rail, the Series 5 Swing Loader provides the power required to handle a range of rail maintenance needs, the company says. The standard loader boom and housing has been replaced with a 200 degree turntable that allows the operator to accomplish swing crane functions. The main boom assembly retains its structural integrity, allowing the Series 5 to accomplish wheel loaders functions with 14,500 lift capacity. Equipped with high-traction axles, the Swing Loader has enough drawbar pull to handle the positioning of continuous rail, the company says. On or off rail, the Swing Loader provides a powerful, safe machine that offers the reliability of John Deere wheel loaders and "the ultimate in swing crane technology," the company says.
