It is designed to navigate complex railway areas with ease and efficiency, making it an indispensable resource on construction sites and maintenance projects along the railway network. The MX20G Rail represents Hydrema's commitment to providing high-performance, versatile and reliable solutions for the railway industry.

ENGINE

The MX20G Rail is powered by a robust Cummins B4.5L engine that delivers high performance and reliability. This engine, which includes a 16-valve Common-Rail Turbo Diesel with intercooler, produces up to 175 horsepower at 2200 rpm and achieves a maximum torque of 780 Nm at 1500 rpm. This powerful performance, along with a maximum speed of 12 mph in Rail Mode, makes the MX20G Rail ideal for heavy lifting and efficient handling of railway projects.

FUEL

The MX20G Rail from Hydrema is equipped with a spacious 73.96 gallon fuel tank, ensuring long runtime and reducing the need for frequent refuelling stops. In addition, it has a separate 8.3 gallon AdBlue tank, which is essential for maintaining the machine's emission control system. This combination of fuel and AdBlue tanks ensures that the MX20G Rail can deliver efficient and environmentally friendly operation over longer periods of time, which is ideal for large-scale railway projects.

HYDRAULIC SYSTEM

This machine has an efficient dual-circuit hydraulic system with Load Sensing and a separate high-pressure hydrostatic oscillation system. The system includes electronic power control that allows customization for precision work and fuel-saving ECO-Mode. The operator can adjust up to three hydraulic settings directly from the cab, providing the flexibility to customize pressure and oil flow for up to ten different tools.

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

DRIVING HYDRAULICS

The MX20G Rail offers a hydraulic driving system with constant hydrostatic all-wheel drive, ensuring excellent traction and stability. It's equipped with a variable drive engine with brake valve for precise control and a 2-speed soft shift power shift transmission that efficiently handles shifting between on-road and off-road gears, making it highly versatile for both railway work and off-road driving.

RAIL SYSTEM

Hydrema's MX20G Rail is capable of working in two categories:

High rail (Cat 2): Driveline and brakes work indirectly from tires (drive 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.

CAB AND DOUBLE CAB

The MX20G Rail from Hydrema comes with a well-equipped and safe ROPS certified cab that has been carefully designed to maximize both visibility and comfort. The cab presents several features such as an adjustable sliding window, a two-part windscreen with flexible opening options, and a roof window that allows natural light to flood in. To further enhance comfort, an adjustable steering wheel and armrests, as well as an air-suspension seat, are included. The cab's air conditioning system is equipped with multiple adjustable nozzles to ensure a comfortable environment, no matter the weather conditions. Cab settings can be customized and saved via easy-to-use CAN BUS-controlled keypads. In addition, there are large, easily adjustable rear-view mirrors and a clear rear-view camera.

The MX20G Rail also offers a double cab option, which provides space for a passenger. The additional seat is located behind the driver with separate access through a rear door. The passenger sits perpendicular to the direction of travel, ensuring plenty of legroom.

EXCAVATOR

The MX20G Rail is equipped with a two-piece boom. This boom is constructed from high-strength steel with closed profiles and is available in lengths of 6’7’’ and 8’2’’. To increase the machine's functionality and efficiency, the MX20G Rail offers the option of hydraulic quick hitch and an optional Engcon tilt rotator. The tilt rotator controls are conveniently integrated into the joystick for smooth and precise control during work, making the MX20G Rail an ideal machine for a wide range of railway infrastructure projects.

SAFETY

This railway excavator ensures maximum safety with the Prolec electronic height and swing limitation system, which includes a Rated Capacity Indicator (RCI). This fail-safe system with automatic control and dual sensors protects against collisions with railway cables and prevents unintended movement into neighboring tracks. RCI ensures continuous monitoring of the machine's stability, making the MX20G Rail a safe and reliable solution for railway work.

RAIL-SPECIFIC EQUIPMENT

Hydrema's MX20G Rail is equipped with a range of railway-specific features. This includes:

  • Under carriage with high & low Rail System for 4'8'' track.
  • Special rail-Keypad for undercarriage (l.h.armrest).
