The MX17G Rail is equipped with a powerful Cummins B 4.5L Stage V engine that delivers impressive performance with a maximum 175 horsepower at 2200 rpm. With a maximum torque of 780 Nm at just 1500 rpm, this engine is built to deliver both power and economy in all working conditions. The MX17G Rail can reach a top speed of 12 mph in Rail Mode, ensuring fast transit between jobsites and efficient work operations.

The MX17G Rail model from Hydrema shines not only with its engine power, but also with its fuel efficiency. It features a fuel-saving system with a 73.96 gallon fuel tank and a separate 8.3 gallon AdBlue tank to ensure optimal emission reduction. This ensures the machine can work longer on site with fewer refuelling interruptions and supports Hydrema's dedication to environmentally friendly and economical operation.

The MX17G Rail from Hydrema stands out with its advanced hydraulic system, which ensures precise and efficient movements during the most demanding tasks on the railway. The dual-circuit hydraulic system, with load sensing and a high-pressure hydrostatic oscillation, ensures smooth and controlled operation. Electronic power control allows the operator to fine-tune the performance of the working hydraulics as needed, and with up to three customized hydraulic settings, the system offers a high degree of adaptability to different tools and tasks.

Oil quantities:
Working hydraulics: 84 gpm
Swing hydraulics: 23 gpm
Hydraulic option 1  ZV1: 8-53 gpm
Hydraulic option 2  ZV2: 4-26 gpm
Hydraulic option 3  ZV3: 13-53 gpm

This rail machine features a sophisticated travel hydraulic system that contributes to its outstanding mobility and maneuverability, especially on rails. A constant hydrostatic all-wheel drive ensures a smooth and stable ride in all conditions. This system is complemented by a variable drive motor with brake valve, offering fine-tuned control and responsiveness. The MX17G Rail is also equipped with a 2-speed soft shift power shift transmission that enables a smooth transition between on- and off-road gears, ensuring the machine can adapt to different terrain conditions without compromising efficiency.

With an innovative and versatile rail system, the MX17G Rail allows for efficient working on railways. This system includes two primary operating modes: High Rail and Low Rail.

High Rail (Cat. 2): Driveline and brakes work indirectly from tires (traction wheels) to rail wheels. When using 'high rail', the machine is lifted more than 4 inches above the tracks, ensuring no conflicts with sensors and switches. Operating in high rail mode provides maximum stability. The parking brake acts directly on the rail wheels.

Low Rail (Cat. 3): Rubber wheels run directly on the rails with traction and brakes acting directly from the wheels to the rails. The rail wheels run with constant pressure regulation and suspension for safety and to avoid derailment. Being partially on rubber tires provides a comfortable ride and maximum traction, e.g. in wet conditions.

The MX17G Rail offers a spacious and safe ROPS cab designed for optimal comfort and visibility. This cab features a sliding window, a two-piece windscreen with adjustability, and a skylight for increased light. Comfort is enhanced by an adjustable steering wheel and armrests and an air-suspension seat, while the air conditioning system with adjustable air nozzles ensures a comfortable climate. Cab settings can be saved via CAN BUS-controlled keypads, and safety is enhanced with large adjustable rear-view mirrors and a reversing camera.

Optional double cab adds space for a passenger, with comfortable seating and a separate entrance. This addition ensures extra capacity and convenience for both driver and passenger, making the MX17G Rail ideal for teams working on railway infrastructure projects.

The MX17G Rail excavator component stands out with its advanced design and functionality, ideal for demanding railway projects. This excavator features a two-part boom made from high-strength steel, ensuring both durability and flexibility. With the option of adding a hydraulic quick coupler and an Engcon tilt rotator, it offers increased versatility, making it easy for operators to adapt to different tasks.

Safety is a top priority in the design of the MX17G Rail from Hydrema. This machine is equipped with the advanced Prolec height and swing limitation system with an integrated Rated Capacity Indicator (RCI). This system plays a crucial role in preventing the machine from moving outside safe working limits, which is essential when working close to or between active railway tracks. With failsafe functionality and dual sensors, the system ensures constant monitoring and adjustment of the machine's position to avoid collisions and ensure stable operation.

Hydrema's MX17G Rail is equipped with a range of railway-specific features that emphasize its versatility and efficiency on the rails.

This includes:

• Under carriage with high & low Rail System for 4'8'' track.
• Special rail-Keypad for undercarriage (l.h.armrest).
• Electronic monitoring/alarm - high & low rail.
• Visual control of rail wheel pressure on rails.
• Rail wheels-diameter: 2'22'' ft.
• Fixed BM-hitch, rear.
• Electronic Prolec height and slew system (Virtual wall) with Rated Capacity Indicator.
• Hydraulic lock of steering wheels when operating in rail mode (Dynamic load charts).
• Hydraulic emergency operation. 3 cameras (2 on the counter weight and 1 on the right hand side).
• Individual disc brakes on rail wheels, operated both by service and parking brakes.
• Undercarriage: Extra hydraulic oil circuit, rear - (13 gal.). 7-pole socket for trailer, rear.
• Coupling for trailer, front/rear.
• Air brake system for trailer (option)
