RAF32 Trailer

The RAF 32 self-propelled railway trailer is designed to meet rail transport needs with high load capacity and an efficient braking system. Approved by SNCF, it ensures safe and optimized travel on railways, particularly for demanding industrial and logistics operations.

With a platform measuring 237 inches in length and 98 inches in width, the RAF 32 is equipped with four integrated “twist lock” fasteners on the chassis, ensuring secure anchoring of transported loads. Its unladen weight is 12,127.5 lb (excluding options), and its maximum load capacity reaches 70,560 lb, offering optimal flexibility for various applications.

The maximum speed on rail is 14 mph, while the version approved for agricultural use allows movement at 17 mph on the road. When combined with a Menzi M585 excavator, the maximum rail speed remains 14 mph, with a reduced speed of 3 mph in pedal-pass mode.

The trailer’s dedicated driving hydraulic power is 51 kW (around 70 hp), with a traction torque of 2,213 lb·ft per axle, ensuring smooth propulsion and adaptability to railway conditions.

The braking system is a key feature of the RAF 32, ensuring optimal control in all conditions. It includes multiple mechanisms:

  • Automatic hydrostatic brake with a maximum torque of 2,469 lb·ft
  • Positive action brake, delivering up to 2,655 lb·ft of torque
  • Negative action automatic brake, providing 553 lb·ft of static braking

These systems guarantee enhanced safety, particularly on slopes up to 35/1000.

Operator ergonomics and safety are also prioritized. Forward driving offers optimal visibility. In reverse, direct vision through a rear-view camera allows full awareness of objects between 8 and 236 inches, while an additional rear camera reduces this distance to 8 inches, giving complete control during maneuvers.

Track setup is fast and efficient, requiring only 5 to 6 minutes to become rail operational. It is compatible with 40.3 lb/ft rails, mounted on either wooden or concrete sleepers. The platform height from the rail is 33 inches, optimizing access to transported equipment.

An optional branch shredder, rotatable to the left or right and powered by a 395 hp standalone engine, is available for added functionality in specialized operations.

The RAF 32 trailer combines robustness, power, and safety, meeting the high demands of railway and industrial professionals.
