HI-RAIL MINI EXCAVATOR

 

COMPACT FOR BRIDGE

AND TIE WORK

Compact and powerful, the BTE-308 Hi-Rail Mini Excavator has surprisingly strong performance for changing ties, tamping, and ditching work.

The BTE-308 features the Tie Talon for standard or bridge ties, a powerful Tamper, and multiple bucket types. An optional Bridge Machine setup adds roller rail clamps, the exclusive BTE TrackJack, and other custom features for increased safety when working on elevated structures.
